What It's Like to Work Here

Considering how many of our days are spent working, life is simply better when the work is meaningful, challenging, and accomplished with people who share one’s sense of joy and purpose. At CPM, we work collaboratively. Everyone has a say—and everyone is heard. We keep our doors open and strive first to understand.

 

We believe education is a path, not a destination. We have made personal and professional development an integral part of our culture. When our people thrive, our business and our clients also prosper.

 

Though we’re serious about producing great results, we believe fun and laughter are necessary ingredients for a great work environment. Throughout the year we host company-wide events to celebrate successes, holidays, or simply enjoy each other’s company; we share responsibility and pride in our work.

 

And at the end of the day, we leave our CPM family and join our families at home. We believe striking a balance between those two worlds is essential for a company with employees who wouldn’t want to work anywhere else.

 

Our Recruiting Philosophy

We recruit project managers, construction managers, planners, architects, budget/accounting specialists, administrative management and other experts. We are careful to select employees of outstanding character who have the potential to make valuable contributions to our work.  We are committed to hire and retain a diverse group of employees and are dedicated to ensuring we all feel connected and included. These varied skill sets and backgrounds help us meet, and often exceed, ours and our clients’ goals.

As a new employee, this has been the best onboarding experience I've ever had! Coworkers are positive, helpful, and genuinely interested in seeing you succeed, which makes for great workdays, when you are learning new processes. And my immediate Manager provides structured training sessions and always checks in to ensure that I am not feeling overwhelmed. I feel supported, seen, and valued here. I have been able to see how all of this comes from the foundation and standards top management has set, they are constantly meeting and finding new ways to make things better. I have only been here a few months, and my manager has already reviewed with me what my 5 years career-growth path might be. CPM truly treats employees as an asset, and I feel lucky to be here!​

CPM may be small but we’re mighty in all the ways that count. What truly sets CPM apart is the people, every single person here is emotionally intelligent, supportive, and just a genuinely good human being. We look out for each other, communicate with empathy, and show up as our full selves every day. It's a place where your voice is heard, your efforts are seen, and you're encouraged to grow not just professionally, but personally too. Working here feels like being part of something meaningful, with people who care just as much about the work as they do about each other.
