Why Choose Highway Work
The closer you look at road construction, the better it gets
Across the state of Georgia, highway contractors are busy at work building and repairing our roads and bridges. With more than 123,000 miles of public roads, nearly 15,000 bridges and 11 Major Mobility projects adding 300 new lane miles by 2030, highway contractors need road workers now. And they will continue to need them well into the future.
Salaries for entry-level laborers are better than other available jobs. And if you have a get-it-done work ethic paired with a whatever-it-takes attitude, you’ll have a great future in this profession.
