About Anderson Columbia

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

Anderson Columbia was built from the ground up by Joe Anderson Jr. (1939 - 2016) with a hard-working spirit and a vision for growth and success. ​Between the ages of 18 and 19, his entrepreneurial desire to build and construct was taking shape and in 1958, a company called Anderson Contracting began work in Dixie County. That company, with one dump truck and a tractor would later become the genesis for a nationally recognized leading infrastructure company in the United States. No matter the job, we put high-quality production at the front of the project. Our qualified teams bring the experience and the skills necessary for any job that requires our attention. Sunny or cloudy, hot or cold, efficiency continues to happen through our well-versed teams and will continue to happen until the job is accomplished and performed to the highest expectation.
