Your Opportunity at ARC’TERYX:
ARC’One, our manufacturing facility in New Westminster, is home to a team of skilled makers and technicians who bring Arc’teryx products to life. Located near our Design Center, the facility plays an important role in how we prototype, test, refine and manufacture the technical gear we are known for.
Some of our most technically complex products including Alpha SV and new product pilots are built here. The facility also supports ReBIRD repair and renewal programs, helping extend the life of Arc’teryx gear.

After 3 months of training in our Training Department you will be assigned to one of our production lines.

And it doesn't end there, you will have the opportunity to move up and why not, join our Warranty, Sample, Quality, Training Teams, our Design Center or become one of our future Team Leaders.
This role is a full-time permanent (Monday - Friday) position located in New Westminster (Queensborough area).

Evolve is our DNA, you will champion it, and you will partner with your team to identify areas of improvement in order to be better than yesterday
