Metric Design is a Saskatoon-based interior design studio working on residential and commercial projects. We are growing, and we are looking for a sharp, organized, and motivated person to keep all the moving parts of our studio running smoothly.
This is a hands on role with real variety. One hour you are answering the phone and chasing a supplier order, the next you are setting up a new project in our system, the next you are at the warehouse loading product for a job site, the next you are coordinating onboarding for a current team member. If you thrive on variety and like making things flow, this is the role for you.
Who you are
You love when things are running smoothly, and you are the person who notices when something is not. You take pride in keeping the trains on time.
You are happy to answer the phone, chase down a delivery, set up a new project file, then head to the warehouse to load up materials for a job site. The variety is the appeal.
You are organized and detail oriented, but you do not get stuck chasing perfection. You like figuring things out, asking good questions, and making things work better than you found them.
You handle confidential information with discretion. Employee records, client details, and internal conversations stay where they belong.
You are excited by technology and you use AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT to make your work faster and sharper. But you are not just a screen person. You like being in the studio, on a job site, talking to people, and getting things done.
