Construction as Your Career

After a year of uncertainty felt across the world, families, businesses and cities are hopeful that a return to pre-pandemic life is coming soon. As many organizations prepare to reopen, the need for high-quality talent has soared, resulting in the job market being more competitive than ever. Throughout 2021, North Carolina is expected to continue decreasing the unemployment rate while netting +245,100 jobs. In the month of April alone, the Charlotte-metro area added 7,900 new jobs to the market.

These national and state-wide trends are being mirrored on a community level, having a positive impact on the construction industry in our area. The increased business, and projected growth, is forcing companies to strategically prioritize projects and reevaluate their resources. HGC is using this challenge as an opportunity to get the right people in the right seats to become the best site developer in the Carolinas.

“Our team was incredibly fortunate in 2020. While we had to modify some of our business operations and adjust our processes, we continued to receive new projects and opportunities which allowed us to navigate the unknown while maintaining a positive outlook,” stated Bryan Moffitt, Business Development.
