Working at F-J has been an awesome experience with THE BEST leadership and co-worker/friends that I have ever known. They are invested in your success and provide you all the resources to thrive in your position

Mary Pratt , Corporate Accountant

My father has worked for F-J for some time now and his experience has been great. I wanted to come and work for a company that recognizes hard work, dedication and leadership. I knew if I worked at F-J that I would gain valuable knowledge and have fun doing it every step of the way.

I joined the Fortune-Johnson team in 2002 with no experience in construction. They took a risk on me, and I am very grateful for it. Fortune-Johnson has given me the opportunity to grow and learn the industry the right way. My plan is to retire from Fortune-Johnson when the time is right. However, with a new page turn and the opportunities that are ahead for us I am excited and look forward to the challenges.

Dave Whittle , Executive Superintendent

Fortune-Johnson is truly one of the best companies to work for. They invest in their employees and provide ample opportunity for growth. I started as an intern at F-J in 2019 and have since worked my way up to Assistant Project Manager. Everyone here makes you feel like family and part of the team!

F-J is truly a company where integrity matters and doing the right thing by its developers, subcontractors, and employees comes above all else.

Bobby Cole , Senior Project Manager

When I first joined Fortune-Johnson in 2017, I was drawn to their reputation for building great projects; however, what truly sets F-J apart is the family-oriented culture and tight-knit team atmosphere.

Will Brock , Project Manager
