About John G. Johnson

Culture

The way you treat people is EVERYTHING.

We build buildings, but we’re about people— first and foremost.

At John G. Johnson Construction Co., our culture revolves around two things: serving our clients and leading by example.

JOHN G. JOHNSON CULTURE

Serving Our Clients

Serving our clients means always doing the right thing for them. You deserve a construction partner who looks out for your interests. We hire based on alignment with our values and we have the right systems in place so that they can help you meet your project goals.

What’s it like to work with us?

Here’s what you can expect:

We’re open and honest

We believe that’s the only way to earn your trust. When you feel like you can ask us all your questions and trust the answers, that’s when we know we’re doing it right.

We love a challenge

Seriously! Those projects that nobody else wants because they’re too difficult? That’s where we want to be. Challenges motivate us to find solutions for you.

=

We deliver consistent results

We’ve worked hard to design processes that ensure consistency among all our staff. So even if you don’t work with the same team on every project, you’ll know what to expect.

You’ll never hear us say, ‘That’s not our problem.’

The way we see it, our job is to find a way to get our clients what they need. More than anything else, we’re proactive about solving problems.

Our Core Values

When it came time to identify the values that would guide our company, we didn’t sit in a boardroom and come up with buzzwords that sounded impressive. It was really the other way around. We looked at the way we already work, and we put that into a few words. That’s why our core values are so simple and straightforward.

Do the right thing.

We stand by our employees, clients, and community with integrity.

Be solutions driven.

We are relentless in our pursuit of answers to the most vexing of construction issues.

Proactively collaborate.

We believe the best solutions come from a collaborative environment and actively engage the team throughout the construction process.

Be dedicated to success.

People who are fulfilled, working on challenging projects, with people they respect is our recipe for successful project delivery.

What’s it like to work here?

Quite simply, our people are our business. The quality of our people is what sets us apart. You will be surrounded by people who want you to succeed. We’re honest with each other and help each other out. We’re approachable and focused on doing the right thing.

When you work here, you will never lose sight of the fact that every project we do is for people. People who will live, work, learn, heal, worship, and rest within those walls. And the people who are in charge of seeing each project through to the finish: the facility managers, developers, housing authorities, building committees, business owners, government and education officials.

You will get the chance to develop rewarding relationships and work on projects that have a real impact on people and communities.
