Protecting Our People
Safety is our first responsibility on every job. We plan carefully, address risks before work begins, and look out for one another so everyone can return home safely at the end of the day.

Built Into Every Job
Safety isn't a separate step at Fred Smith Company. It's part of how the work gets planned, staffed, and carried out. Our teams are trained to spot hazards early, watch out for one another, and hold the line on the standards that keep everyone protected

Looking Out for One Another
The people closest to the work often see risks first. That is why every employee, from a new hire to an experienced team leader, is expected to speak up when something does not look right and is supported when they do.
Our teams work around live traffic, heavy equipment, and changing jobsite conditions every day. We take those risks seriously, listen to the people doing the work, and make decisions that protect our employees and everyone who works on or travels through our jobsites.

Building More Than Jobs
We're looking for people who take pride in delivering excellence. In the field or the office, you'll help build the roads, bridges, and sites that move North Carolina forward.
