The Georgia Highway Contractors Association (GHCA) is sponsoring a job fair in the Savannah/southeast Georgia area for those interested in a road construction career. The fair will take place this Friday, March 7, from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. at the Richmond Hill City Center, 520 Cedar Street in J.F. Gregory Park in Richmond Hill.

Thirteen highway contractors and suppliers to the industry are participating in the job fair as they gear up for their busy season which begins in spring with the onset of warmer temperatures. 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. Website is in English and Spanish.
