We're building our Traffic Control Division with people who take pride in their work, communicate well, look out for one another, and want the opportunity to keep learning and growing.

• Help ensure signs, cones, barricades, and other devices remain properly positioned throughout the shift.
• Identify and immediately communicate unsafe conditions.
• Keep traffic-control vehicles, equipment, and devices clean, organized, and ready for use.

Don't meet every preferred qualification? We still encourage you to apply. Dependability, character, awareness, communication, and a willingness to learn are extremely important to us.

Why Join Cannon?

We're not looking for people to simply fill positions. We're looking for people who want to grow with us.

At Cannon, employees can have opportunities to:

• Learn additional construction and restoration skills
• Crosstrain in other areas of the company as opportunities allow
• Develop into Traffic Control Technician and TCS roles
• Learn from experienced field leaders
• Take on greater responsibility as their skills grow
• Build a career they can be proud of

We believe people should be recognized for the value they bring, the skills they develop, and the pride they take in their work.

When our people grow, Cannon grows.

Our Safety Commitment

• Safety is everyone's responsibility.
• If something doesn't look right, we expect our employees to speak up.
• Every Cannon employee has a responsibility to identify unsafe conditions and follow established stop-work procedures when necessary.

No schedule, production goal, or job is more important than sending everyone home safely.

• A great Flagger doesn't simply react to traffic.
• A great Flagger stays alert, anticipates changing conditions, communicates early, and helps prevent problems before they happen.

Build a Career, Not Just a Job

• We want employees to see where they can go.

A potential traffic-control career path at Cannon may look like:

Flagger → Traffic Control Technician → Traffic Control Supervisor (TCS) → Foreman → Superintendent → Operations Leadership

Advancement isn't based only on how long someone has been here.

We value people who continue developing their skills, accept responsibility, help their teammates succeed, and consistently demonstrate Cannon's standards.
