Unlock your potential and your career

Our team works across a variety of projects and sectors, gaining broad experience while contributing to infrastructure that delivers real value for communities. 

“I had seen how my friends in larger companies in the industry were treated as just another cog in the machine, but within CPM I have a real sense of belonging and feel valued for my contributions.

Over my 8 years with the company, I have had an opportunity to work on a diverse range of roles and projects (from small rural bridge replacements to multi–billion dollar major infrastructure projects). I work with people with many years’ experience, who are willing and ready to share their experiences, advice and knowledge with me.”

James Egan Profile Picture

“CPM still feels like a tight knit group and everyone is very approachable and there’s always great cross-pollination and conversation from all walks of the business.

Travis Sone

“What I like about CPM is they definitely support me with professional growth. So I joined the leadership program last year, that was amazing. A lot of the ideas I can apply on what I do day-to-day. And I’ve joined the mentoring program twice. That gives me a lot of thoughts on how I can approach tasks differently.”
