At CPI, we are more than just a workplace.

Here's how we deliver the incredible, every day.

Exceptional People

We unite the brightest minds and the nicest people in science, technology & innovation. Together, we thrive on our intellectual curiosity, creativity and the relentless pursuit of excellence.

What We Do Matters

Our work isn't about completing tasks, it's about creating impact. And we can't do this alone. We’re trusted by government, industry, investors and academia to turn ground breaking ideas into global reality.

Unparalleled Work

Smart people need diverse, complex problems to solve, and we have no shortage of these! Some are gigantic, others are niched, but all require a unique balance of intellect and pragmatism.

Treated With Trust

Employing great people is pointless if you don’t trust them to get on, so that’s what we do. But we also encourage curiosity by inviting everyone to explore new opportunities that match their interests.

But don't just take our word for it. See what our people have to say...
