Job description
Traffic Control Assistant
Aspire Communications is a startup, turn-key technology integration company based in Orlando, Florida with roots in Southern California. Formed in September of 2019, Aspire has quickly grown into a 200+ person operation in less than five years and continues to rapidly expand.
About the Role
The Traffic Control Assistant plays a key role in keeping telecommunications construction sites safe and traffic moving smoothly. You'll set up and maintain traffic control devices, protect workers and the public, and support crews installing underground and aerial telecom infrastructure, including fiber optic and cable lines.
This job is a great fit for someone who:
Stays calm and alert in fast-moving environments — you're often the first line of safety between traffic and a live work zone
Takes pride in the details — a cone placed a few feet off, or a missed hazard, can matter
Communicates clearly and confidently, whether directing a driver, coordinating with crew over radio, or answering a curious passerby
Doesn't mind being on their feet outdoors in sun, heat, or cold — and treats that as just part of the job
Works well independently but also as part of a tight-knit crew
Takes safety seriously without needing to be reminded — for themselves, coworkers, and the public
Is dependable and punctual, since crews rely on traffic control being in place before work can start
Responsibilities
Set up, maintain, and remove traffic control devices — cones, signs, barricades, and flagging stations — in compliance with local and federal regulations (e.g., MUTCD guidelines)
Direct traffic safely using hand signals, flags, or stop/slow paddles
Monitor traffic flow and adjust control measures to minimize congestion and hazards
Communicate with crew members via radio or hand signals to coordinate safe vehicle and pedestrian movement
Support telecom construction crews with basic tasks during light traffic (e.g., carrying materials, spotting equipment)
Maintain compliant, safe work zones and report hazards immediately
Stay alert and visible at all times, particularly in high-risk or high-traffic areas
Interact professionally with the public, responding to questions or concerns as needed
Qualifications
Prior experience in traffic control, construction, or a related field preferred; will train the right candidate
Flagger certification (or willingness to obtain one)
Ability to stand for extended periods and work outdoors in varying weather conditions
Ability to bend, squat, and lift up to (X) lbs
Strong communication skills and situational awareness
Reliable transportation and a valid driver's license
Comfortable working near vehicle traffic and heavy equipment
Job Type: Full-Time
Schedule
8- or 10-hour shifts, Monday–Friday
Day shift
Overtime and weekend availability as needed
What We Offer
Competitive salary and benefits package
Medical, dental, and vision coverage
Short-term and long-term disability, plus voluntary life insurance buy-up
Paid time off and parental leave
Team-building events
Career growth opportunities within a fast-growing telecommunications company
