Position Description

Job Summary: A flagger directs traffic for a road construction crew. Flaggers hold a large orange flag, which they use to help indicate to motorists to slow down, stop and pass through. Flaggers generally work in conjunction with other flaggers, with each standing at opposite ends of the construction area and coordinating traffic flow via communication, either via two-way radios or hand signals.

Flaggers must fully understand the use of all signaling devices at their disposal, including flags, portable signs, and paddles for daytime use. Flaggers may also be used after dark, usually with lighted wands or other illuminated signaling devices.

In addition to directing traffic, flaggers also perform duties such as setting up flagger signs, cones, barrels and any other traffic control devices deemed necessary.

Flaggers must remain alert and keep traffic moving while ensuring the safety of motorists, construction workers and themselves.

Flagger Tasks:

  • Break down and clean up the traffic control work zone after flagging completion.
  • Monitor, observe, and control traffic flow.
  • Set up work zone according to safety protocols and regulations.
  • Assist construction crew in assorted duties where necessary.


Position Requirements

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

  • Must be attentive to what’s going on around them.
  • Must work alone, yet be a team player.
  • Possess strong communication skills, as they will need to relay traffic information to other flaggers, drivers and construction workers.
  • Be professional and courteous even when dealing with agitated drivers.
  • Flaggers must remain alert and keep traffic moving while ensuring the safety of motorists, construction workers and themselves.

Work Context:

  • Flaggers often work long and odd hours, day or night, in extreme heat or cold.
  • Flaggers must possess a good degree of stamina, as they often stand for long shifts with few breaks.
