Employee Engagement Specialist

Woodtone
CA - British Columbia - chilliwack
January 23, 2025

Woodtone is a family run business committed to Building What Matters - manufacturing beautiful products, constructing great homes and strengthening relationships for over 45 years.

Any builder knows that building what matters is more than about having the right tools or an individual mindset. Building something that's truly valuable, that lasts, so often comes down to having people you can depend on, who understand what you need and when you need it, and who can stand proudly behind the work they do. We all want to build a legacy, but the stuff of legacies isn't stuff at all - it's people, trusted partners united by a shared purpose, and the support of people who care. To that end, we don't just produce beautiful, long-lasting building materials, we build relationships that last.

We have a lot of fun and take care of our people. We are looking for passionate, caring, genuine, principled, confident, driven individuals.
