Culture
Why Fortis?
Intentionally Different
Fortis Construction, Inc. is an employee-owned general contractor committed to making an impact—through our relationships, projects we build and the communities we serve.
Our culture is intentionally different, and our project teams are at the center of all we do. We hire people – not numbers, and together deliver an experience rooted in care, trust, and collaboration. Our passionate, entrepreneurial team members are empowered to lead, innovate, and make decisions that matter.
We live out our Core Values by developing mutually beneficial relationships with our teammates, clients, trade partners and communities. As a result, over 90% of our work comes from repeat clients who trust us to deliver excellence. With offices in Oregon and Utah, we specialize in the data center, science & tech, commercial, healthcare, and education markets. We have performed projects in multiple US states and across the globe with a team of over 600 employees.
Purpose
Core Values
This enterprise is built on these fundamental, inviolable values and beliefs:
Relationships
Life is too short. We want to work with and for people we respect, trust and care about.
Pioneering
We will continuously seek out challenges and push boundaries with creative ideas and solutions.
Winning
We have an intense will to win. We will go longer, work harder, and give more than anyone else.
Pride
We are driven by work ethic and craftsmanship. We do our best work even if no one is looking.
Manifesto
Our culture is the magic that unifies us. Experience the joy of shared success. Curiosity is a prerequisite: Push the button… see what happens. Good isn’t good enough. Great is the new normal. Enjoy the richness of friendships. Appreciate what surrounds you. Challenge. Be intentional. Teach someone something every day. Have fun building stuff. Grow. Listen. Check your ego at the door. Be humble. Build lasting impressions.
