Job Overview
We are seeking a highly organized and hands-on Logistics & Procurement Coordinator to support ZS2's manufacturing operations.
This role is responsible for ensuring materials arrive when needed, inventory is accurate, shipments move efficiently, and procurement activities support production requirements. The successful candidate will work closely with Production, Project Management, Finance, and suppliers to ensure the smooth flow of materials from purchase order through delivery.
This is a practical, execution-focused role. You will spend time coordinating suppliers, arranging incoming and outgoing freight, managing inventory records, supporting receiving activities, maintaining procurement documentation, and solving day-to-day logistics challenges.
Who We Are
ZS2 is leveraging material science and construction technology to cement a more sustainable and resilient future for the built environment. As the leader in magnesium cement (MgO) technology, we are innovating both its production and applications for the built environment.
Based in Calgary, Alberta, we are scaling sustainable technology into action with high-performance building materials, powering industry-leading projects and partnerships across North America. From manufacturing advanced materials to developing carbon-negative cement with carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) technology, we balance practical construction solutions with a strong focus on R&D.
We are addressing both the cause (failure to decarbonize) and the symptoms (climate-related destruction) to protect and de-risk the built environment. By prioritizing both environmental responsibility and real-world performance, we’re proving that climate tech and industry progress can go hand in hand.
With over $9 million awarded to commercialize our technology at scale, we are accelerating the transition to a resilient and low-carbon industry. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and are inspired by purpose-driven work, you’ll find your place with our TechCrew.
The Opportunity
ZS2 is growing, and so are the opportunities to make an impact. Whether you're developing new technologies, supporting our manufacturing operations, working with customers, or helping scale the business behind the scenes, every role contributes to advancing the future of resilient, low-carbon construction. If you're curious, collaborative, and excited by the opportunity to make a tangible contribution, you'll fit right in.Key Responsibilities
