ABOUT KNIGHT'S REDI-MIX
Established in 1995, Knight's Redi-Mix is a family-owned concrete company that produces environmentally conscious, high-quality concrete. Our concrete can be used in projects ranging from industrial, commercial, and utility to marine and agricultural. Instead of using readily available products that are mixed on-site, we mix the concrete for each customer's project according to their specifications at our Georgia batching plants, then transport it by truck so it is ready to use when we arrive.
With our competitive pay and benefits, we pride ourselves on providing the highest quality work environment for our team members. Our business is growing and that translates into growth opportunities for our employees. Every employee we hire is welcomed into our family - that's the reason many of our current staff have been with us for over 20 years.

You'll be sure to find those people here.
