Producing with the highest safety standards and the least possible impact, cement, aggregates, ready mix...
Our area mission is to produce cement, aggregates and concrete that will satisfy the highest global safety standards while having the least possible environmental impact. It is our duty and our objective to provide customers with superior products while operating efficiently and sustainably.
We aim to understand our customers’ needs and meet their expectations through creative, flexible solutions that ensure their satisfaction with our products and services. We take pride in our ability to continually innovate in the use of alternative fuels and energy. This is a constant challenge that keeps our teams busy: we are responsible for ensuring our people’s security and productive capacity, and so every change must meet our rigorous operational safety standards. We operate according to a zero accident policy: We aim to send everyone safely home to their family every day. And we are continually challenged to maintain our plants and quarries in optimum condition for daily production while adjusting production levels to market conditions.
Operations offers a fulfilling long-term career path, providing you with the opportunity to work in areas ranging from sand and gravel extraction to cement production, maintenance and quality, to ready-mix production and quality. Most team leaders are promoted from within the company, so expect to become an industry expert. A background in engineering or science is often required to join this team, as well as the ability to learn fast, work in a team, and manage employees and customers. You must be creative, flexible and agile in order to support our continuous improvement goals—you’ll get to see your innovative ideas implemented quickly.
Being part of a quarry, cement plant, or ready-mix plant operation is an enriching experience. If you love challenges and want a fast-paced job, this might be a good opportunity for you.
Proactively safeguarding the wellbeing of our people and neighboring communities...
Our mission is to support CEMEX’s Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) performance and culture. As a major player in the global building materials industry, we face a broad array of challenges. The production, storage, transportation, and distribution of our products involve hazards and risks that, if not controlled, can cause harm to people and damage to the environment. For this reason, our top priorities are to keep our people healthy and safe, and reduce the environmental impacts of our operations. We strive to have zero EHS incidents; we act thoroughly to achieve it.
Our work requires a good understanding of EHS risks and practices. To assure the safe and efficient use of CEMEX’s assets, we periodically monitor, and audit operations. We visit operational sites, analyze company EHS performance data, and review the root causes of incidents and near misses. We use this information to develop plans, management systems, training programs and initiatives that can be applied globally to eliminate or decrease EHS risks.
In this area we welcome anyone with a passion for environmental, health, or safety performance and the ability to convey that passion to a wide and diverse audience across different organizational levels. It is important for us to have team members with a strong work ethic, who are creative and adapt easily to change, and who have good leadership and networking skills. Depending on the role, people interested in this area should be experienced and qualified in health and safety, science, engineering, environmental science, or occupational hygiene.
EHS professionals at CEMEX may choose to stay within the function and deepen their expertise, or they can transfer their skills to other areas such as Human Resources, Risk Management, Technology Projects, Operations, and Communications.

Ensuring competitiveness and efficiency of operating facilities within a dynamic environment...
The mission of the Technology team is to guarantee that CEMEX comprehends, and utilizes world-class technology to ensure the competitive leadership of our production facilities. We build market and competitive technology intelligence for the development, evaluation, and integration of new production technologies and processes into our company.
Our goal is to ensure that we remain at the forefront of knowledge on industrial processing.

We articulate networks and provide platforms to maximize the use of our facilities and resources—fostering agile technology transfer.
We work on such different areas as binder technology, concrete, aggregates and admixtures. And adopt an interdisciplinary approach to take advantage of the company’s strong vertical integration in the construction materials value chain. We foresee opportunities, threats and challenges in the industry, and at the same time strive to find creative solutions that lower the CO2 footprint, improve the service life of structures, increase the energy efficiency of buildings, use recycled materials, and foster safe and healthy practices.
Additionally, we must also show our operations how to use sustainable practices in the industry when building with cement-based materials. Ultimately, the group is responsible for coordinating the development and deployment of new construction products and solutions. This is achieved through CEMEX’s technological agenda, which will guide our company’s efforts to create value in the building materials industry.

Our area mission is to promote initiatives that help our company provide building solutions that reduce our ecological footprint and increase stakeholder value.
We currently have several initiatives to help CEMEX become a sustainability leader. We are enhancing our strategies for managing carbon, biodiversity and other environmental challenges; engaging with stakeholders; enhancing workplace health and safety; strengthening local community infrastructure and economies; and promoting dialogue and collaboration with our key stakeholders.
We welcome people who want to be part of a dynamic, results-oriented team that has challenging goals. We value trust, respect, a strong work-ethic, networking skills and results that create a lasting impact. Sustainability professionals can stay within the function and deepen their experience and knowledge in this exciting new field. Or they can transfer to another team, such as Strategic Planning, Marketing, Procurement, Operations or Human Resources, and use their understanding of sustainability to improve the performance of these other areas of the company.
This area has a significant impact on how CEMEX conducts its business. Our mission is to provide the best possible legal advice on a wide array of transactions, and identify legal risks and trends that may impact the company. We use our perspective and experience to support company priorities by providing a solutions-oriented approach to legal issues, proactively anticipating issues, and identifying opportunities for all the areas.
We are constantly challenged by the rapidly changing regulatory, social and economic landscapes. We need to keep ourselves abreast of developments on many fronts, effectively communicate them to our internal clients, and propose sensible solutions. We achieve our goals through an international and multidisciplinary team of attorneys, who understand all aspects of CEMEX’s business, and contribute to its sustainable growth. We must be effective communicators and have strong teamwork skills to perform well in this area.
Our team is composed of lawyers who either have or develop specialized knowledge regarding the areas they serve, such as finance, international business transactions, corporate law, compliance, environmental regulations and litigation. This area provides a great development opportunity for professionals who have a high tolerance for uncertainty, uncompromising integrity, intellectual curiosity, robust analytical skills and strong personal drive. At CEMEX you will have the opportunity to learn about the many legal issues that arise when doing business in a large, publicly traded multinational corporation, particularly one with unique origins and a history of growth and innovation.
As a global company, we understand, and embrace our responsibility to address some of society’s largest and most complex challenges, such as climate change and the need to provide universal access to housing and infrastructure.
