Aerotek Flagger in Grandview, Missouri

This is a Flagger/Traffic Control position working with an oil and gas distribution construction crew. Flaggers will be performing traffic control on closed roadways, detours, and one way traffic using a slow and stop sign.

Long Term Career Opportunities:

If you are looking for a long term career in construction this is the company that will help you reach your goals! There are employees on the crew who started in the Flagger position and have moved to higher, more skilled positions and within 2 years they are now making over $30/hr!!! The company's professional development is top notch and if you work hard they will work hard for you. They have a lot of different sectors of construction such as broadband, oil and gas, pipeline integrity, renewable gas and electric so although you start on an oil and gas crew there are opportunities to move to other sectors once you become a permanent employee after the 90 day contract period. This is an opportunity to get into a skilled trade career without going to trade school, so if you are someone who likes to learn on the job and not in the classroom then the Flagger position is right up your alley!

A Typical Day and Hours:

After the first two days of class room training/orientation you will be given the job site location that you will be required to show up for your first day in the field. Once you show up to job site you will meet with the team & have a morning safety meeting with the foreman and crew. Usually you will work from 7am-5pm but may work late or leave early some days. They average about 40-50 hours a week and NO WEEKENDS. You will also receive a break every 2 hours (10-15 minutes) and have a 30 minute to 1 hour lunch break, depending on the crew. EVERYDAY you will be outside working in the elements. THIS IS NOT A SEASONAL JOB, so all year around you will work outside, in the heat, rain, snow and cold. They will send a crew home for lightning or severe weather but plan on being there at least 7am-5pm Mon-Fri regardless of weather.

Pay :

$17.28/hr. to start then after the 90 day contract period you will be given a performance review. As long as there are no attendance or performance issues then you will become a permanent employee with the company and will receive an immediate raise to $25.92/hr. as well as the other benefits listed below.

Must Haves:

  • RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION You are expected to drive yourself to the job site everyday, this is not a job where you go to the same place each day. You may be on a specific job site for 3 days to 2 weeks (job sites are not assigned based on where you live), once the job is over you will be given a new assignment and your next job site location. It is rare but there may be days where you work multiple job sites in the KC Metro area.

  • Steel Toes are REQUIRED

  • Ability to work outside in the elements all year.

  • Ability to stand for 8 hours a day.

  • RELIABILITY. The Flagger position is an essential part of the construction crew. In order to work they need to have a Flagger on site helping to keep them safe, so it is imperative you are at your scheduled shifts in order to avoid deadline delays. They understand that life happens and will be flexible and work with you on time off for last minute emergencies and such is not a habit. Any paid time off with be honored as long as it is is scheduled in advance.

If you have any flagger experience, or have worked jobs where you were outside (construction, landscaping, outdoor security, working in an outdoor parking lot etc.) please email your resume directly to Cherie at chebates@aerotek.com
