MANUFACTURING AND DISTRIBUTION CENTRE JOBS
ARC’One, our New Westminster, BC hub for manufacturing and distribution, is the heart and hands of Arc’teryx. Proximity to our Head Office and Design Centre lets us test designs and processes in a real world manufacturing set-up, for a direct flow of feedback between maker and designer. It’s what makes the magic happen.
ARC’One is one of Canada’s Best Workplaces in Manufacturing (as declared in the 2021 Great Place to Work® Canada survey.) It offers team members a games room, onsite gym, free transit shuttle to the nearby Skytrain station, cultural celebrations and ESL courses.
Is this you?
Arc'teryx has been manufacturing in Vancouver since 1989 and currently ships millions of products worldwide from our distribution centre. This close physical relationship between the design floor at Head Office and ARC'One, our manufacturing facility, is a big part of our success. This makes You our secret superpower. We look for skilled people who can bring our designs to life and help our design teams translate them into instructions that can be replicated in partner locations around the world. And we can't do it without the hard-working and incredibly organized distribution team, who then gets those pieces out into the world.

You are meticulous in the making of our products. We are meticulous about finding the right person for the role. Our team works hard to find, and be, a great match. We personally review all applications. If your application stands out, we'll be in touch to learn more.

Our locations
Born out of the Coast Mountains, on the unceded shared territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, səlilwətaɬ and Líl̓wat Peoples, Arc'teryx has taken our passion for problem-solving and great design all over the world. Our brand stores are located within the treaty and territorial lands of many First Nation, Indigenous, Inuit, Métis, and Tribal communities, who have called these places their homeland since time immemorial.
We continue to expand across North America, Europe, China Mainland, and Asia Pacific, from our roots in the mountains of North Vancouver, British Columbia. We hope to represent the values of stewardship modeled by the Coast Salish Peoples, and the inspiration we've drawn from these landscapes, in every international location we operate.
