BENEFITS
Why Work at Brooks & Freund?
We’ve spent 25 years building some of Southwest Florida’s most impressive projects — but what we’re most proud of is the team behind them. When you join Brooks & Freund, you’re not just taking a job. You’re becoming an owner in a company that invests in your future, supports your family, and values the work you do every day.

As an employee owner, you accumulate company shares in your ESOP account each year as part of your compensation. The harder we work together, the more we all benefit.
This isn’t just a perk — it’s a long-term wealth-building opportunity that sets Brooks & Freund apart from any other contractor in Southwest Florida. Our ESOP reflects what we’ve always believed: our people are our most valuable asset.
