Procurement Specialist

Cambium uses technology to make it easy to access material we normally waste. We work across the lumber supply chain to turn salvaged material into Carbon Smart Wood™. From arborists, sawmills, and cities to manufacturers and wood products companies, Cambium connects this material to the market while providing transparent chain of custody reporting and impact metrics. Mill Market is one of Cambium’s technology products that connects tree service (arborist) companies to sawmills that will buy their logs–providing a revenue source for tree services and a log supply source for sawmills.
