Real jobs from across central Illinois.
Effingham sits at the I-57 / I-70 crossroads — the "Crossroads of America" — about 25 miles southwest of Mattoon. We're up there a lot. The county seat plus surrounding farm country and the heavy I-57 truck corridor mean a steady mix of residential, ag, and light-commercial excavation jobs.
Sub-areas we cover: Effingham, Teutopolis, Dieterich, Altamont, Beecher City, Mason, Watson, Montrose, and rural Effingham County. The whole county sits inside our normal radius.
Common Effingham-area jobs: rock and gravel driveway installs out toward Teutopolis and Dieterich, foundation digs and basement excavation in town, pole barn pads and ag building site prep on the surrounding farms, drainage tile work where the heavy clay holds water, pond construction and dredging on rural acreages, and culvert installs along county roads. Effingham County is also a regular market for our NRCS grassed waterway work — we've coordinated with the Effingham SWCD office on practice 412 jobs.
