Seven highway contractors and suppliers to the industry will be at the job fair. The participating companies are currently hiring men and women for a range of construction and construction-related job types at all experience levels. The industry offers full-time employment, excellent pay and benefits, and the opportunity to advance. A heavy equipment simulator will be onsite for those wanting to experience what it is like to operate a piece of heavy equipment.
Across the state, road contractors currently have hundreds of jobs to fill. See GeorgiaRoadJobs.com, a comprehensive website developed to educate prospective workers about the many benefits of a career in road construction. The website is in English and Spanish. Those interested in attending the job fair can register on the website.
