About The Position

The MOT Superintendent is a field leader responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing Temporary Traffic Control (TTC) operations on the SR400 Express Lanes Project. Working closely with the MOT Manager, construction teams, subcontractors, and state agencies, the Superintendent ensures traffic control installations are safe, compliant with MUTCD and GDOT requirements, and delivered efficiently to support project progress. The role directs field crews, oversees daily traffic control activities, and ensures lane closures, detours, and traffic shifts follow approved Traffic Control Plans (TCPs). The SR400 Express Lanes Project is a $4.6 billion initiative led by SR400 Constructors, a 50/50 joint venture between Ferrovial Dragados and ACCIONA. Commissioned by GDOT and SRTA, it will add two 16-mile express lanes from Sandy Springs MARTA Station (Exit 5) to McFarland (Exit 12), along with bus rapid transit stations and corridor improvements. Construction began in late 2022, with substantial completion anticipated in 2031. The position requires field leadership in active roadway environments, coordination with project and public-agency partners, and accurate documentation of traffic control work. The role may require nights, weekends, or irregular hours as traffic operations demand.
