Cape-Environmental-Management,-Inc

The company is growing, so there are a lot of new people, but it's the kind of place where people stay for decades, and senior management is genuinely focused on keeping it that way by hiring and retaining quality staff. To that end, the company is engaged in a variety of important and interesting work, and when the company is successful, senior management ensures that success is felt by all and rewarded. Likewise, as other reviewers have mentioned, work/life balance is both discussed and respected. As a team, I've found that we all work hard and support each other's efforts. Many of us work remotely, but steps are taken to ensure we remain connected and don't feel isolated.

Because it's a small company, growth opportunities can be limited for some, depending on your role. If you're content at your current career level and/or are willing to grow as the company grows, this won't be a concern for you. However, if you're someone who's looking to rapidly climb the ladder, you might find that challenging here.

Overall, I think senior management is doing a great job. I have found senior managers to be innovation/growth oriented, yet cautious enough to ensure the company grows in the right ways rather than simply growing for the sake of growth. I feel like management makes a genuine effort to reward success and keep a thumb on the pulse of what people need and desire from their careers. As the company expands, I would encourage management to keep doing this and continue to find new and innovative ways to do it. If they do, CAPE will be a great place to work for many years to come.

CAPE is an excellent place to work, gain valuable skills, and contribute to nationwide environmental remediation projects. The organizational structure allocates resources to allow efficient execution of projects (for example, one team manages projects while another performs technical aspects). 

The majority of the company works remotely, which allows employees to join the company from nearly any location. As with any remote work, integrating into the culture can take a bit of effort but is certainly doable.

CAPE generally pays very well compared to many competitors. Bonuses are offered to all employees annually as available based on company performance. Benefits are solid and the self-insured healthcare generally works very well. 

Management is friendly and available for communication with employees of any level. The company could improve a bit on keeping employees in-the-know of general direction and pursuits, but is taking steps forward in this aspect. Managers generally allow flexibility without strict requirements (i.e., get your work done as it works for your schedule without having to be at your computer during very specific hours each day). 

CAPE also values a healthy work-life balance, which can be rare among competing firms. Although not always possible during busier times, employees can generally expect to work 40 hour weeks. 


I am a field engineer, so I am on the road throughout the entire year. My typical workday depending on the job involves completing morning meetings, reports from the previous day, and ensuring the crew understands the tasks set by the super intendent and what quality factors need to be achieved. The rest of the day may consist of oversight of equipment operations and confirming excavation depths, grading, or taks procedures are completed as discussed in the morning meetings. I have learned so much from this job through experiences with construction techniques, handling of unexploded ordinances, and other techniques for remediation practices. 

The company values people always. The most important thing we do at CAPE is projects, but the people are always first. The culture from the bottom up is very caring and honest. Everyone here at CAPE is drivin through the missions and visions WE have come up with. All in all, the team is very family driven and will support and push you to your own career goals while prioritizing what you and your family needs. We strive for a healthy life where work fits in. CAPE covers my family traveling with me wherever I go and that in itself shows the commitment CAPE has to its employees.

The projects CAPE gets awarded are also very unique and always encourages problem-solving, risk prevention, and creative strategies to produce a product that surpasses the clients expectations.

A typical day starts out with a daily safety meeting before starting work assignments. It is a high paced physically demanding job that requires focus and awareness while working around a variety of heavy equipment. From day to day I may weld with flux cored wire, rods, or automatic girth welders that use submerged arc. After other welders in the crew are finished with their task I am responsible for inspecting welds either visually, with solution leak tests, or positive or negative pressure tests. Throughout my years of training and experience I have learned safe work practices, an extremely good work ethic, and to take pride in what ever I do to achieve high quality work in a timely manner while working at heights and in extreme working conditions. I have had the privilege of working with great management teams with different companies on different projects. All in all this is a great company to work for, but I am looking to start a career in the quality assurance/quality control field.

Roles are either fully remote or field-based with domestic and international travel. Work encompasses a wide range of environmental sampling, investigation, and remedial action for contaminated soil and groundwater at CERCLA/RCRA sites. Most roles work independently or in small groups. Work also encompasses construction of water treatment plants and rapid-response infrastructure construction and engineering support. High performance expectations with strong opportunities for mentorship and upward mobility for self-starting and engaged employees.

The workplace culture at CAPE is one of the best I have been involved with in my career.  The majority of the projects are for the US Government, Department of Defense, EPA, Army Corps of Engineers, etc. The satisfaction of seeing our efforts benefiting the armed forces and communities  around the world is an incredible feeling.  Career development is very important to CAPE and at every level of the company.  The company is over 30 years old and has an incredible focus on developing the next team of leaders from within the organization. 

Great Company Culture: The "We not Me" Culture fosters a seamless integration into the team.
Meaningful Contribution: Opportunity to make significant impacts and add value to an already robust team known for its pipeline of quality projects and strong financial health.
Professional and Personal Growth: Opportunity for both professional and personal development, 
Reputation and Opportunities: The firm's esteemed reputation as a thriving small business opens doors to unique opportunities, including working with federal clients.
Involvement in Remediation Projects: The chance to be involved in high-profile remediation projects with various partners


CAPE's motto is "We, Not Me" and while many other companies have similar slogans, CAPE actually lives up to them unlike most other companies. As a superintendent it is important to know management is behind you all the way and is there to work with you when issues arise. Everyone from upper management down to field level is supportive of one another and collaborate as one to make the final product delivered to the client a winning success. Highly recommend CAPE as an employer!

What I love most about CAPE is the commitment to projects and the staff. CAPE works on diverse projects across the world which prevents monotony. CAPE supports employees with progressing careers through certifications and training and asks and tracks you what you personal and professional goals are. Like any company they have areas to improve, but they are actively surveying the staff and forming committees to focus on improvements. 

Many companies advertise having a great company culture but CAPE really does walk the talk. It is refreshing to work for a company driven by a common vision, emphasizing a focus on impactful projects. Working at CAPE offers the opportunity to work with outstanding professionals on remediation projects across the United States and its territories. Their supportive company culture fosters a collaborative work environment and celebrates personal and professional achievements.
