We’re incredibly honored to announce that Stansell Construction has been named a 2025 Top Workplace by both USA Today and the Tampa Bay Times, with the added distinction of being ranked among the Top 50 companies (employee count 150-499) nationwide by USA Today.
This recognition is a testament to the culture we’ve intentionally built — and continue to protect — every day. As a woman-owned general contractor with a clear mission to set a new standard in the construction industry, we believe that our people are our greatest asset. We don’t just say it — we live it. And this award proves that when you prioritize your team, exceptional things happen.
What makes this honor especially meaningful is that it’s based entirely on feedback from our employees. Through confidential surveys measuring everything from leadership and communication to purpose, alignment, and workplace culture, our team made it clear that Stansell isn’t just where they work — it’s where they feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.
We’ve always believed in doing things differently — leading with character, integrity, work ethic, and a deep commitment to how we treat people. These aren’t just pillars on a wall; they guide how we hire, lead, communicate, and grow. Whether it’s on a jobsite or in the office, our goal is to create an environment where people are proud to show up and do meaningful work.
CEO, Angelica Connor, shares, "I’m incredibly proud that we’ve received both of these awards — not because they’re badges we can put on our website, but because they’re a reflection of something much deeper. They validate the intentional focus and energy we’ve poured into building a strong, values-driven culture. As we’ve grown, we’ve faced new challenges and uncharted territory that have stretched us in big ways. But through it all, our team has remained committed, aligned, and fully bought in to where we’re going. That’s what makes this recognition so meaningful."
Being recognized both nationally and locally reinforces that we’re on the right path — building not just buildings, but a legacy. We’re grateful to every team member who makes this possible, to our clients who trust us, and to our community for cheering us on.
This is more than an award — it’s a moment of reflection, celebration, and fuel for what comes next.
We’re just getting started.
