Are you ready to make safety visible—on both land and water? Join our team as a Signing & Marking Technician II, where your hands-on skills help guide drivers, boaters, and pedestrians safely through our roadways and waterways. In this role, you’ll install, maintain, and repair traffic control signs, pavement markings, and marine navigational aids in accordance with state and federal standards, ensuring clear, consistent, and reliable guidance for the public.
Your work will take you into the field and onto the water as you assess sign and marking conditions, correct safety issues, and respond to damage or fading. You’ll operate specialized equipment such as pavement marking machines, crash attenuator vehicles, spray paint systems, and marine vessels, while setting up safe work zones and assisting with traffic control as needed. From deploying emergency buoys and identifying marine hazards to fabricating signs and maintaining accurate records, no two days will be the same.
This position also offers opportunities for cross-training within the Traffic Engineering Division, participation in an on-call rotation, and meaningful interaction with the public. If you enjoy hands-on work, value safety and precision, and want a role where your efforts directly support a safer community—both on the road and on the water—this is your opportunity to make an impact every day.
