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.

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.

• Metrics Tracking: Track shift‑level performance metrics aligned with the Logistics Manager’s overarching Objectives and Key Results (OKRs).

Safety & Facility Standards

• Safety Compliance: Monitor floor safety and quality daily, ensuring all WorkSafeBC targets and internal safety standards are met.
• Problem Solving: Proactively identify floor-level bottlenecks or hazards and implement creative, strategic solutions to keep operations running smoothly.
