By Stephanie Curry, HR Manager
Strong partnerships are fundamental to the success of businesses across all sectors of our economy. This is especially true for our general contracting firm, which employs approximately 350 professionals who specializes in construction and infrastructure enhancement projects throughout New York.
We don’t just depend on strong partnerships with our clients, but with numerous regional suppliers and vendors. In in addition to those strong partnerships, we have an implicit cooperation with all New Yorkers relying on our widespread public and private sector projects.
Our people are paramount to all of that, whose skills, training, experience and quality contributions guarantee that a construction project is done right the first time.
That’s why Forte Construction is so honored to be named one of Crain’s New York Business’ Best Places to Work in 2024.
The team we have at Forte Construction is more than just a collection of construction industry professionals. Every individual at Forte is an integral member of a collaborative and supportive team united by a shared belief that puts our people at the foundation of all we do.
In our offices and on our project sites, we’ve learned the value of free-flowing ideas and a collaborative culture that allows every voice to be heard. As a company, we celebrate both individual and collective achievements and ensure that every employee feels valued for the professional skills they bring to the table.
Forte Construction has prioritized camaraderie through our many teambuilding events, ongoing opportunities for professional development, and celebratory outings for our staff and their families. We also proudly support union training programs, several educational institutions, and local and regional charitable organizations.
The pride we take in our work is matched by the pride we have in our team. Whether collaborating on a job site or building houses for those in need alongside Habitat for Humanity, it’s our people who make Forte Construction a great place to work.
I was drawn to this organization because of the impressive work they do and the clarity with which they articulated their goals and values during the interview process. However, after joining the team, I’ve come to realize they truly undersold themselves—it's hard to convey the remarkable depth of teamwork, compassion, efficiency, and pride that our team embodies.
Thank you to the publishers of Crain’s New York Business for diving into the internal workings of our company culture and ultimately giving us the recognition for putting people, safety, and quality at the foundational level of our organization.
