Opportunities for advancement

Many of our Foremen, Superintendents, Project Managers, and Operations leaders started in entry-level positions and built successful careers with Hi-Lite.

What You'll Do

No two weeks are the same.

One project may have you removing runway rubber at a major international airport. The next may involve installing precision pavement markings or supporting maintenance work at a military airfield.

  • Assist with pavement marking installation and removal
  • Prepare airport surfaces for painting and maintenance
  • Operate forklifts, skid steers, grinders, and other equipment

  • Maintain equipment and a safe work environment
  • Work as part of a highly skilled team that takes pride in quality workmanship

Every project directly contributes to the safety of pilots, passengers, and airport personnel.

Travel Is Part of the Adventure

  • Our crews travel throughout the United States, working on some of the busiest commercial and military airports in the country.
  • Typical travel assignments range from 4–6 weeks, with all airfare, hotels, and per diem provided by Hi-Lite.
  • You bring the work ethic—we take care of the logistics.

Schedule

  • Full-time
  • Day, night, weekend, and overnight shifts as required by airport operations
  • Overtime opportunities available

Qualifications

  • Valid Real ID driver's license with a good driving record
  • Ability to lift 50 pounds
  • Ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions
