"The future is phenomenal in the construction business.  There will always be job security in construction with ample opportunities to learn and excel to advanced positions."

SWEETSER CONSTRUCTION has been helping build Northwest Arkansas for more than 60 years.  The business specializes in infrastructure work including building highways, bridges and roads, land clearing and grading, water and sewer, paving, and drainage work.  Chances are you're familiar with the company's work if you've ever driven on parts of Don Tyson Parkway and Elm Springs Road in Springdale, or Razorback Road in Fayetteville.

The family-owned company was founded in 1955 by father-son team Jerry D. and Jack Sweetser.  The pair specialized in commercial and residential construction.  Current owner, Billy Sweetser, bought the company from his father, Jerry, in 2010.  Today, Sweetser Construction is dedicated to providing quality infrastructure construction services to all of Northwest Arkansas.  The company has won several awards for the quality of its work.

Sweetser Construction employs about 65 people in more than half a dozen different types of jobs.  You'll find heavy equipment operators, concrete finishers, utility workers, dump truck drivers, diesel mechanics, estimators and even accountants among the many team members.

"We need field employees," Sweetser explains.  "We often have trouble finding people with the skills to fill those positions."  That's why the company will help new employees who are starting out learn what they need to know.  "New employees can learn on the job for most positions," says Sweetser.  The company also offers summer apprenticeship programs for field crew members who may still be in school.
