BECOMING A FLAGGER

Become a Certified Flagger

Looking to expand your horizons, learn a new trade, and increase your earning potential? Becoming a certified flagger opens doors to steady work across construction, roadwork, utilities, and more.

What Does a Flagger Do?

Traffic control flaggers are essential to keeping construction sites, roadwork zones, and special events safe. As a certified flagger, you direct vehicle and pedestrian traffic through work zones using stop and slow paddles, ensuring the safety of both workers and the public.

Flaggers work across a wide range of industries and environments — from highway construction to utility work to community events. It's hands-on, active outdoor work with real impact.
