Clark Construction Company was recently named the #1 Best Place to Work in West Michigan by Crain’s Grand Rapids Business and ranked 11th overall — first among construction management companies — on the 2026 Best Places to Work in Michigan list from Crain’s Detroit Business. This marks Clark’s seventh consecutive year on the statewide list and its first year of eligibility for the West Michigan recognition.

This annual statewide survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Michigan, benefiting the state’s economy, its workforce and businesses. The Best Places to Work in Michigan list is made up of 100 companies in three size categories: small (15-49 U.S. employees), medium (50-249 U.S. employees) and large (250+ U.S. employees).

Companies from across the state entered the two-part process to determine the Best Places to Work in Michigan. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, and demographics. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final rankings.

Clark Construction was recognized during an August 13 event in Grand Rapids for the West Michigan award and at an August 20 event produced by Crain’s Detroit Business that revealed the top 100 companies for the Detroit area. Clark will also be recognized on August 24 in a special publication by Crain’s Detroit Business.
