FaverGray Named a 2026 Best Place to Work by Jacksonville Business Journal
We’re excited to share that FaverGray has been named one of the Jacksonville Business Journal’s 2026 Best Places to Work! This recognition is especially meaningful because it’s based on feedback from our own employees and their experience working at FaverGray. For more than 20 years, FaverGray has called Jacksonville Beach home. A lot has changed since we started in 2005. Our team has grown, our projects have taken us into new markets, and we’ve welcomed new faces and new opportunities along the way. But one thing we’ve worked hard to maintain is the culture that has always been an important part of FaverGray. “Our people have always been the foundation of FaverGray,” said James A. Gray, CEO of FaverGray. “As we’ve grown, we’ve worked hard to maintain a culture where people enjoy coming to work, feel valued as part of the team and have opportunities to grow with the company. Being recognized as a Best Place to Work is especially meaningful because it comes from the feedback of our own employees.” More Than a Place to Work There’s a lot that goes into creating a great workplace, but some of the things we value most at FaverGray are pretty simple: working hard, enjoying the people you work with and making time to celebrate together. Throughout the year, we look for opportunities to get our team away from their desks and jobsites and spend time together. Our monthly food trucks at the Jacksonville Beach office have become something everyone looks forward to, along with holiday celebrations, team outings and other events throughout the year. Most recently, we invited employees and their families to spend an afternoon together at Beach Bowl for FaverGray Family Day. And next up, things are about to get competitive with one of our favorite annual traditions — the FaverGray Chili Cook-Off. These may seem like small things, but they’re an important part of what makes FaverGray feel like FaverGray. A New Space for Our Growing Team Earlier this year, we completed an expansion of our Jacksonville Beach headquarters with our team in mind. In addition to new office space, the expansion includes indoor and outdoor gathering areas that have quickly become a favorite place for team lunches, monthly food trucks, celebrations and company events. The new space gives our employees a place to step away from their desks, spend time together and celebrate the milestones that make working at FaverGray special. As our company continues to grow, we want our workplace to grow with it — not just in terms of physical space, but in the opportunities available to our people. Growing Careers at FaverGray We’re proud to have employees who have spent many years of their careers at FaverGray, and we’ve had the opportunity to watch team members take on new challenges, move into new positions and step into leadership roles as the company has grown. Creating those opportunities is an important part of where we’re headed next. “Growth is exciting, but what’s equally important to us is making sure FaverGray continues to be a place where people want to come to work and build their careers,” said Ben J. Hinson, President of FaverGray. “We want to give our team opportunities to grow professionally, but we also want to make time to get together, celebrate our successes and enjoy the people we work with. Our new office expansion is another investment in that culture and in creating a workplace our team can be proud of.” Proud to Be a Best Place to Work in Jacksonville Jacksonville Beach has been our home since the beginning, so being recognized by the Jacksonville Business Journal as one of the 2026 Best Places to Work in Jacksonville makes this one especially meaningful. We’re proud of the projects we build and the growth we’ve experienced over the years, but FaverGray wouldn’t be FaverGray without the people who come to work every day and make it all happen. So, this recognition belongs to our team. Thank you to everyone at FaverGray for making this a pretty great place to work. We’re proud of what we’ve built together — and we’re looking forward to plenty more food trucks, Chili Cook-Offs, Family Days and celebrations along the way.
