CALPORTLAND CAREERS

Why CalPortland?

Innovative. Responsible. Dedication. Focus. Opportunity. Compensation. Benefits. Our nearly 3,000 employees across five states strive for excellence every day. As a team, we help build America – our accomplishments include a Guinness World record (for the longest continuous pour of concrete recorded), the Seattle Space Needle, the Hoover Dam, and many major sports stadiums up and down the west coast.

Technical Expertise

CalPortland has been an innovative leader since it’s founding. Driven by science and engineering, CalPortland is widely respected in the industry for its technical expertise in creating products that meet specialized needs and exacting standards. Our customers rely on this expertise to complete highly complex jobs including the building of ultra-modern sports stadiums, dams, high rise buildings, airports, interstate highways and other infrastructure.

Community

CalPortland believes in giving back to the many communities we serve by donating time, expertise, materials, equipment, and financial support. The partnerships CalPortland has developed with the communities, in which we work, live, and play reflects an important part of who we are.

We recognize that we don’t just work in our communities – we live there too. Many of our employees are actively engaged in community work with the help of the company – projects such as Habitat for Humanity to sponsoring youth programs, donating materials for creating parks and other public spaces, and much more – come be a part of our community.

Environment

CalPortland takes great pride in its stewardship of the environment. A leader in technological advances in the production of cement to minimize CO2 emissions, the first fleet of CNG ready-mix trucks in California and 19 consecutive years as a US EPA ENERGY STAR® PARTNER OF THE YEAR award winner are just a number of achievements that distinguish the company as an environmental leader.

As a company that mines materials from the ground, we recognize our responsibility to return land to a condition that can be used appropriately. For example, a former sand and gravel mining operations in University Place (Tacoma), Washington along the Puget Sound was reclaimed by the company and with further development by the City of University Place, was turned in to the Chambers Bay Golf Course, home of the 2015 US Open Golf Championship.
