Job description

At Oxygen8, we’re driven by a simple mission: to make indoor spaces healthier and buildings more energy-efficient. Our 100% electric ventilation systems improve air quality, reduce carbon footprints, and help people feel safe and comfortable in the spaces where they live, work, and play.

Since 2019, we’ve grown from a single solution into a portfolio of flexible systems designed for how buildings are actually built and used. We value creativity, collaboration, and ownership – here, your ideas can shape solutions that make a real difference.

Working at Oxygen8 means joining a fast-moving, innovative team where problem-solving and continuous improvement are part of the culture. Our momentum has been recognized along the way: in 2025, we were named Vancouver’s #1 fastest-growing company, and in 2024, we earned Company of the Year – Scale from the BC Tech Association, ranked #1 in Clean Technology on the Deloitte Technology Fast 50, and #28 on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500.

About The Role

Location: hybrid at one of our Toronto or Vancouver offices

We’re looking for a curious and resourceful individual to join our team in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where your work directly helps deliver customized HVAC solutions to an established client base across Canada and the United States. In this role, you’ll go beyond the limits of our in-house software by manually editing and refining PDFs to reflect unique customer requirements, working closely with a hybrid team based across Vancouver, Toronto, and Gaspé.

This is not a sales role and involves no cold calling or HVAC system design—instead, it’s a customer-focused position where your attention to detail, organization, and ability to think outside the box will make a real impact.
