Flagger training is one of several areas covered in the Road Department's new hire training. Other training activities for new hires include learning to operate small power equipment such as chainsaws, pole saws, and other tools needed for construction maintenance, as well as overview of the County's Safety Policy.
The County enhanced its new hire training last year to provide additional guidance to entry-level Road Department personnel. During the 21/22 Fiscal Year, the County also established an Apprenticeship Program designed to give Road Department employees a clear defined career path with opportunities to advance quickly. These individuals can begin their career as a Maintenance Helper and within 3-4 years, advance to a Maintenance Operator with the ability to operate heavy equipment. This is the perfect opportunity for someone wishing to learn a trade and make a career in Nassau County.
If you have any questions, please contact Assistance Road Director, David Hearn, at (904) 530-6175 or via e-mail at dhearn@nassaucountyfl.com.
