Building Materials Giant CRH to Create 300+ Jobs with New Atlanta Shared Services Center
Governor Brian P. Kemp announced today that CRH, a leading global provider of building materials solutions, will establish a new Finance & Accounting Shared Services Center (SSC) in Fulton County, creating more than 300 new jobs and investing $1.7 million. The SSC will support CRH’s Americas Materials Solutions business, which is also headquartered in Atlanta.
“CRH’s latest investment in Georgia is more proof that our state’s collaborative approach to economic development works for both prospective job creators and those already operating in our state,” said Governor Brian Kemp. “As we continue to foster a business-friendly environment, these investments create high-quality jobs for hardworking Georgians. We look forward to CRH’s continued success in the No. 1 state for business.”
CRH’s Americas Materials Solutions business is a leading integrated provider of aggregates, asphalt, paving, ready mixed concrete, and construction services across North America.
Rob Dinkins, Chief Financial Officer for CRH Americas Materials Solutions, stated, “It is an exciting time for CRH’s Americas Materials Solutions business as we support our ongoing growth by establishing a world-class Finance & Accounting Shared Services Center in metro Atlanta. The new SSC will enable further integration of our finance and accounting operations, creating additional efficiencies that will help CRH deliver better for our customers across North America. Access to leading talent, infrastructure, and support from the State and local community made it clear that this location would be a key enabler for the project’s success.”
The new Shared Services Center will be located at 1120 Sanctuary Parkway in Roswell. Hiring for finance and accounting roles is currently underway, with plans to be fully staffed by 2029.

Our city is not only a prime destination for businesses but also a thriving home for families, thanks to our top-tier schools, safe neighborhoods, scenic parks, and strong sense of community. We are proud to welcome CRH to Roswell and look forward to all of the opportunities they will bring to our city.”
Fulton County Board of Commissioners Chairman Robb Pitts added, “We’re excited to welcome CRH’s expansion in Fulton County. This multimillion-dollar investment, creating more than 300 jobs, highlights our skilled workforce and innovation-driven ecosystem, cementing Fulton County as a top destination for tech leaders.”
Katie Kirkpatrick, President and CEO of the Metro Atlanta Chamber, also praised the move, saying, “Many global businesses find success with shared service hubs in metro Atlanta, thanks in part to our large and growing talent pool in finance and technology. With operations in 28 countries, CRH’s presence in Metro Atlanta underscores our region’s international diversity and strong global appeal.”
The Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD) partnered with the City of Roswell, Select Fulton, Metro Atlanta Chamber, and Georgia Power on this project.
GDEcD Commissioner Wilson highlighted the company’s growing presence in the state, stating, “Once the new Shared Services Center is at full operations, CRH will employ more than 1,400 people in Georgia. Georgia’s universities and colleges, along with metro Atlanta’s appeal to young talent, gives companies a leg up in hiring for long-term jobs. Congratulations to CRH for its continued investment in Georgia, and thank you to the partners who have built a community where talent wants to live and work.” Sources and related content
