Cumming Careers, Benefits, Review

At Cumming Group, we recognize and celebrate diversity and inclusion, which is why we foster a work environment where every team member feels that they belong and can thrive. This effort begins with our recruiting and hiring practices, where we actively seek out diverse candidates from all backgrounds and walks of life, and continues through to our internal policies, training and advancement opportunities, and overall company values and norms, all of which are under continual scrutiny as we strive to make Cumming the most equitable and forward-thinking employer in our industry. Furthermore, our dedication to diversity and equality is the perfect complement to our culture of excellence. It is only when everyone is seen, heard, and given a fair chance to prove themselves that such a culture — one based on transparent leadership, equality of opportunity, and recognition for results — can truly be achieved. But equal opportunity is not always enough. Cumming is also committed to helping our team members reach their full potential through training and mentoring, and by putting our intentions and words into measurable action at all levels of our organization. In doing so, we can help ensure the best possible outcomes for our team members, our business, and our clients, all while contributing to a society where everyone belongs.

Cumming has the three Employee Resource Groups below with the goal of cultivating inclusion and a healthy work environment:

1. WOCC - Women of CCORP
2. SAGA - Sexuality and Gender Alliance
3. Obsidian - Black Team Member Network

Cumming Group is an international project and cost consultancy that has been operating for close to two decades. What that means is, we don’t handle the actual building, hammering or pouring of the concrete; we manage the project for our client from start to finish and act as Owners' Representatives. Since opening, Cumming continues to grow and we have more than 350 team members, and we have completed projects in more than 25 countries around the world!

At Cumming, we pride ourselves in delivering extraordinary and lasting results, results that other consultancies may dismiss as impractical or even impossible. Cumming is different from other consultancies because we don’t focus simply on the end result; we’re focused on day-to-day disciplines.

Cumming understands that our firm is only as good as the professionals who are part of it, and here you are not viewed merely as an employee, but a team member. We know that no matter where you come from, it is your talent, experience, and ambition that will make you a valuable member of the Cumming team, and allow you to make your mark.

If you were to go around the company and ask what life is like at Cumming Group, you would likely hear a few consistent messages. Cumming encourages teamwork and collaboration, and while expectations are high, hard work is always appreciated and rewarded. Team-building activities, from happy hours to group hikes to charity events, happen regularly and we maintain a flexible work environment where team members are treated with respect, invited to share ideas, and given the ability to make a significant impact each and every day. Our team members mean everything to us and we work hard to let them know.

Cumming recognizes the importance of giving back to the local community. Team members have participated in a wide variety of charitable events with organizations including Habitat for Humanity, SAY San Diego, and Surfrider Foundation. In addition, Cumming Team Members are active members of charities including the California Association of Latino Superintendents (CALSA), and Fallen Warriors Memorial.

Our intern program allows college students to gain invaluable industry experience as cost and project managers as they pursue studies in construction management, engineering, architecture, and related fields. We also offer accounting, business development, information technology, and scheduling internship opportunities.

Since its inception in 2015, the program has grown exponentially. To date, we have recruited interns from nearly 30 colleges nationwide, who intern in our offices spanning geographies from Honolulu, Hawaii, to New York, New York.

Up to 50% of our interns enjoy coming back for additional internships while they finish their studies or are hired full-time upon graduation!

What our interns do.

Our cost management interns generally get to work on multiple projects. They get involved with various aspects of pre-construction, from back-of-napkin estimates to detailed value engineering analyses of construction documents. Our project management interns typically focus on one project and are located onsite, helping our PM team complete the project alongside the contractor, design team, and owner.
