Commercial Metals Company Careers, Benefits, Review

At CMC, we believe that diversity is a strength, and we strive to foster an inclusive culture based on merit. With employees from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences brought together in an environment that encourages everyone to make contributions, we are a smarter, stronger and more capable company. 

Building a workforce with diverse perspectives, talents and experiences starts with inclusion. At CMC, we endeavor to make all employees feel like they belong—that they are part of the conversation and that their voices matter. 

The senior leadership team also participates in diversity, equity and inclusion training to increase awareness of important issues. Our supervisors and team managers at CMC must complete Essentials of Management training, which covers diversity issues such as unconscious bias, inclusivity and micro-aggressions.

CMC continues to explore strategies to access a wider, more diverse range of candidates for talent recruitment. We post job ads in multiple languages in local markets to better attract diverse talent. To increase our visibility as an employer for women, we partner with organizations such as the Association of Women in Metals Industry Group and the Jefferson State Community College’s Hard Hats and High Heels program in Birmingham, Alabama. We also engage with several military and veteran outreach and transition assistance programs across the country, including Military Connection, the LinkedIn for Veterans Program and Military.com.

When we say “it’s what’s inside that counts”, we mean how we conduct ourselves — and how we do business — starts with our core values. These guiding principles serve as a compass for our decisions, actions and behaviors. They form a code that transcends the boundaries of culture and geography to direct us in how to respond to issues of basic human rights. Living our values requires us to meet the highest standards of behavior in all aspects of business — all over the world. At their heart, our principles are based on two simple concepts — integrity and a concern for the welfare of others.

We Know This Planet Inside and Out

We’re Commercial Metals Company — CMC, for short. But even if you don’t know our name, you know what we do. You’ll find our steel in sports stadiums and public buildings as well as highways, bridges, railways and other structures nearly everywhere on the planet.

To serve this global market, CMC maintains facilities across the United States, Europe and Asia. These sites include everything from local recycling centers, steel mini-mills and micro-mills to large-scale fabrication centers, heat-treating facilities and other metals-related operations. And our corporate headquarters? You’ll find us proudly based in Irving, Texas not far from Dallas where CMC began more than a century ago.

While CMC steel products are renowned far and wide, it’s our vertically integrated business model that really put us on the map. CMC was the first steel manufacturer to introduce vertical integration in the United States, then adapted the concept for Europe. By combining the recycling and processing of scrap metals with the blending of processed scrap into new steel and the fabrication of finished steel products, CMC revolutionized the way the steel industry operates. This innovative approach is what still enables CMC to remain a low-cost, high-quality producer that delivers exceptional value for our customers, suppliers and investors alike—all around the world.

Where Opportunity Takes Shape

Our company mantra, “It’s what's inside that counts,” applies to much more than our products.  Inside the walls of CMC’s facilities and offices are thousands of people with the qualities that define our company — thinkers, doers and innovators — people who are committed to making the world a better place by producing quality products and by serving our customers better than any of our competitors.

We challenge our employees every day to keep growing and learning. And we support them with the tools, training and resources to reach their full potential. CMC’s culture of collaboration and community means every contribution, idea and viewpoint is valued because we know this spirit of inclusion leads to excellence and innovation, and it makes us a better, stronger company. We know that the unique experiences and perspectives that each employee brings to CMC are critical in creating a culture that engages and inspires. And, we know our success depends on having the best and brightest talent.

If what lies inside you is a positive attitude, out-of-the-box thinking, and a hunger for challenges and knowing you have what it takes to conquer them, CMC might be your next career step. 

When you join CMC, your valuable contributions, hard work and smart ideas are rewarded with greater responsibility and real opportunities for career advancement. At CMC, we’re fully committed to building lasting structures, stronger communities and a more sustainable steel industry. And we’re also dedicated to helping you build a successful, rewarding career.
