Department: Civil

Location: La Crosse, WI

Compensation: $20.00 - $40.00 / hour

Description

Ready for a new challenge, but not a desk job? ISG is hiring a Transportation Construction Technician to join our growing Transportation team.

If you're a skilled trades professional who enjoys working with your hands, solving problems on the fly, and seeing the results of your work every day, a career as a Transportation Construction Technician could be the perfect next step. Every day is different: you'll be out in the field, working alongside contractors, ensuring projects are built correctly, and making real-time decisions to help build and maintain the roads communities rely on.

Our Transportation and team serves WisDOT, County, and City clients throughout Wisconsin and are comprised of folks in our La Crosse and Green Bay and Brookfield offices. We are a full-service, multi-disciplinary team, who perform award winning work in planning, design, survey, and construction.

You will learn from our Construction Administration leader in Eastern Wisconsin, Heath Hagner, P.E., who brings nearly 25+ years of experience in the Wisconsin transportation industry, including working in multiple WisDOT Regions and cities. You will also work closely with Joel Goodenough, Senior Project Manager, who has a superior knowledge of standards and exceptional customer service, allowing him to thrive while working on some of the largest and most complex projects in Western Wisconsin.

Essential Duties

Our Transportation Construction Technicians are responsible for the following:

• Contribute to WisDOT, County, and City transportation construction projects
• Conduct professional meetings including pre-construction, public information and weekly construction meetings
• Perform civil engineering calculations; prepare engineering plans, designs and reports and construction oversight including inspection when needed
• Serve as a liaison with clients, government and regulatory authorities and contractors
• Deliver project documents within prescribed budgetary and time constraints while satisfying client requirements
• Develop and enhance client relationships and business growth
• Prioritize overall project management and ensure successful project delivery
• Assist with functional and detailed design of transportation and municipal infrastructure projects when in the office

As an employee owner at ISG, you will continue to grow in your career. You'll have the freedom and autonomy to do your best work with plenty of support along the way.

We’ve listed a compensation range that reflects our expectations for this role, including both direct and indirect components. We understand that your experience and value may fall outside of this range. If you feel you're a strong fit but your compensation needs differ, we’re open to a conversation—let’s talk.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

We’re seeking a construction professional with strong problem-solving ability and collaborative mindset. Experience with WisDOT standards and Civil 3D is a plus, but not required. What matters most is your willingness to learn; a proven track record and solid references are essential.

This field-based role involves travel to job sites. A valid driver’s license and clean driving record are required. Our mobile-equipped vehicles keep you connected and supported on the go.

We value year-round construction staff and seek someone adaptable, proactive, and ready to take on new challenges—even beyond their comfort zone.

ISG Employee Owner Benefits

ISG pays very competitively to attract the top talent for our team and partners. We think it's worth it if we find ways to pay for ourselves.

Benefits at ISG are all about helping you lead a healthy life outside of work. While we all know we can't control construction schedules and that there are two seasons in the upper Midwest (winter and construction), we don't micromanage your productivity once our construction responsibilities are fulfilled. Quality time to focus on work starts with quality time to think, exercise, cook a meal, be active, be with family -- time to yourself.

Full-time employees here at ISG get to be a part of such a firm, thanks largely to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). We are 100% owned by our employees! Through broader ownership, and the ability to be directly connected to performance, our culture of accountability and opportunism is amplified. Put simply, everyone works hard = everyone benefits, not just an elite group.
