Why Work at GoMaterials?
-
GoMaterials is one of Canada's fastest-growing companies, recognized by Deloitte, the Globe \& Mail, and the Lazaridis Scaleup Program. We're revolutionizing how landscape contractors source plant and hardscape materials through a B2B marketplace that simplifies procurement in a traditionally outdated industry.
-
Since our inception, we've helped landscapers plant over 1.5 million trees and plants, saving them time, money, and stress in the process. But we're just getting started---the U.S. market alone represents a $16 billion opportunity in plant procurement. We've proven that our model works, and now we're scaling aggressively across North America to capture it.
-
If you want to help build something meaningful, drive real results, and be part of a high-performing team solving a massive industry problem---this is your chance.
