Traffic Control Flagger
About The Position
As a Protector, you will work with a team at various job sites, focusing on traffic safety. No prior experience or degree is required, as AWP Safety provides comprehensive training and support to help employees build a career.

Adherence to all safety rules taught during training is paramount.

The role requires working outdoors year-round, in all weather conditions, and involves standing or walking for 8 to 12 hours per shift. Shifts may vary based on job needs, potentially including nights, weekends, or emergency work.
