He joined the Bavarian civil service in 1841 as an apprentice engineer in the design of railroad bridges.
Continuing his mathematical studies, in particular under L. C. Schnürlein, in 1847 Culmann transferred to Munich so that he could improve his English in anticipation of a study tour to the United Kingdom and the United States.

In 1855, he took up the chair of engineering sciences at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zürich, holding the post until his death.
Inspired by the work of Jean- Victor Poncelet, Culmann was a pioneer of graphical methods in engineering, publishing his seminal book on the topic," Die graphische StatikGraphic Statics") in 1865.
He had a profound influence on a generation of engineers including Maurice Koechlin, Otto Mohr and Luigi Cremona.
He died in Zürich, Switzerland.
