Safety & qualifications

Credentialed crews and our own traffic control

Every service line is delivered by supervisors and crew leads who hold the training and cards the work zone requires.

  • Field supervisors OSHA 30 trained

    Every field supervisor has completed OSHA 30 training, so hazard recognition and daily job briefings come from the person running the crew.

  • All crew leads hold Intermediate traffic-control credentials

    Crew leads carry Intermediate traffic-control cards, so lane closures and work-zone setups are led by credentialed personnel.

  • In-house traffic control

    We maintain our own traffic-control capability instead of waiting on a third party, which keeps work zones compliant and schedules intact.

  • VDOT approved

    Expert Telecom is approved by the Virginia Department of Transportation for work within its rights-of-way.
