Now back to today. If you'd like this story to be yours…

Lightmatter

Lightmatter prices CNC parts in seconds and makes them in Canadian shops. We're building a network of those shops that shares work, metal, people and training, and we don't turn people away: if we can't hire you today, we'll help you get where you're going.

The role

Once a customer pays, a lot has to happen: a shop picked, metal ordered, finishing booked, parts inspected and shipped. You run that, and you make it run better every month.

What you'll do

  • Schedule jobs across our floor and partner shops
  • Order metal and book finishing
  • Book shipping and track every order to the door
  • Chase late jobs before they’re late
  • Measure each stage and fix the slow ones

What you bring

  • Experience scheduling production or logistics
  • Spreadsheets and systems; you like data
  • Calm when three things go wrong at once
  • Clear writing

What sets you apart

  • Machine shop or manufacturing experience
  • Freight and customs
  • Supply chain training (SCMP, CPIM)

New to the trade? We train. Missing something on the list? Apply anyway.

How we work

  • Reliability. Shows up on time, ready, every day.
  • Humility. Takes feedback and adapts without getting defensive.
  • Growth. Learns new tools and asks to learn more.
  • Honesty. Flags problems early and owns mistakes.
  • Go the extra mile. Helps wrap up someone else’s work when theirs is done.
  • Own it. Acts like it’s their own company.

Pay

$60,000–$95,000 a year (NOC 13201)
