I'm reading all of the 3 Tactical Barbell books (TB 3rd Edition, TB2 Conditioning, Ageless Athlete) right now after just skimming through them in the past.
Even back then I really liked the ideas a lot and now after getting into it in more detail the plans and ideas are fantastic IMO.
The principles are in line with the teachings of StrongFirst.
Without giving away too much of the books if you combine the principles of TB1 and TB2 you come up with plans that boost your max. strength and your endurance. Some of them work more on max strength, some more on endurance, some more on certain kinds of endurance (e.g. a SWAT officer that has to just go all out for 2-5min vs. an infantry soldier who needs to ruck/run for a couple of hours).
The books give you some fixed example plans, but more importantly they lay out principles that you can apply to tailor it to your personal needs, including, e.g in your case, some hypertrophy work.
One of the important aspects is that the books are aimed at people in military or law enforcement and so they use the minimum effective dose to make you stronger and have more endurance, because in those professions your training should leave enough in the tank that you can still perform in your job.
Since you're working in a physically demanding job I think that's important to you aswell.
The books are called Tactical Barbell, but you don't need a barbell for them, if you understood the principles you can apply them to other forms of strength training aswell.
The article you mentioned talks about 12 week blocks. The cycles in TB are 6-12 weeks long, a perfect fit for one or two blocks.
