Description
Traffic signal installation workers are responsible for installing traffic signals at roads and intersections. They mainly attach equipment such as the traffic signal body, control panel, indicator lights, and detectors to designated positions, wire and connect electrical wires, and perform operational tests and adjustments. Sites are mostly outdoors and involve high-place work, so aerial work platforms may be used. Knowledge of safety management, road traffic control, and basic electrical construction techniques is required. After construction, test runs are conducted to check signal lighting and display timing, and adjustments are made.

Stable demand is expected regardless of urban or rural areas due to ongoing road infrastructure maintenance. In the future, demand for signal system updates accompanying smart city development is expected to increase.
