“I have a great bunch of guys that work for me at Southern Site. We have a true team mentality. Everybody functions well, and everybody accepts everybody else. There’s never any drama or trouble. It’s all positive.”
Robert “Bubba” Sellers

“Southern Site Contractors is a great company because there’s so much growth potential here, but there’s still a family feel regarding how it’s run and how people interact. It’s a laid-back atmosphere, but there’s still structure to it as well.”
Erin Eckard
Assistant Project Manager
“We’re becoming a larger company, but we still have a small-company feel. Southern Site also has a lot of things to offer that most other companies in the industry don’t have, as far as benefits go.”
Chandler Gant
Erosion Manager
“This is the first job I’ve ever had that I didn’t wake up every day hating my life because I had to go to work. Everybody at Southern Site Contractors seems happy. Everybody is fun to work with. If you like working outside, and you don’t mind getting dirty, then it’s a great job.”
