Description

Would you like to be part of a family who loves to take on exciting challenges? Metromont LLC has been one of the leaders in the construction industry for nearly a century and is currently accepting resumes to be part of our dynamic team!

Metromont was founded in 1925 on the principles of faith, honor, and passion, and almost 100 years later, those values are still the foundation of who we are and everything we do. A third-generation company with nearly 1,500 associates across six manufacturing facilities in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Virginia, and Texas, Metromont is a leader and pioneer in the engineering and manufacturing of precast concrete. Most of all, we're a trusted partner, working side-by-side with our customers from the earliest stages of project design through turnover of the completed structure. In addition to the production of precast concrete, Metromont provides our customers with complementary design and engineering, hauling, erection, and field services to support their full construction needs. Across the eastern seaboard, the southeast, and even as far west as Arizona, our customers rely on us to provide innovative precast solutions and the best quality for their parking structures, data centers, multifamily housing, office buildings, warehouses, schools, and stadiums. And we do, because a trusted partner is who we are and who we've been for nearly a century.
