Shop Technician

About Us

Cambium, a circular economy innovator, tackles key environmental challenges in supply chains. Utilizing our Traece® technology, we salvage fallen lumber and transform it into Carbon Smart Wood™, a carbon-negative building material.

Cambium is a growth stage start-up using technology to make it easy to access material we normally waste, turning salvaged lumber into Carbon Smart™ Wood. We recently closed a $18.5M Series A funding round to make it easier to buy, sell, and move fiber across the supply chain. It’s an exciting time of growth for Cambium, and we’re looking for ambitious, energetic people to join our mission.
