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.
Woodtone manufactures interior and exterior product solutions for the home with an unsurpassed level of quality. We create siding, posts, trim, wood paneling products and more, that are exceptionally beautiful and built to last. Woodtone has been family-owned and operated for 49 years. As a member of our team, you are part of the family. We take pride in providing team members with an unmatched company culture that puts relationships first. Coupled with a competitive salary, bonus, and benefits program, we aim to provide an incomparable employment experience.
Why work at Woodtone?
Our products and business would not be here without our people. Relationships are core to our business. We treat all staff like family, we trust each other, and we always make time for fun. In addition to working with a dedicated, creative, and passionate group, you can expect the following as a Woodtone team member:
- Competitive salary
- Company bonus/profit share
- Competitive benefit plan (medical, dental, vision, health)
- Paid time off (sick pay/vacation)
- RSP Matching
- Company Chef
- Opportunities to develop, learn and grow
We are looking for a passionate, caring, genuine, principled, confident, driven individual who demonstrates a craftsmanship mindset and is committed to quality.
The Opportunity
Woodtone is seeking a person who is highly motivated, self-disciplined and wants to contribute to the growth and success of a winning team. Reporting to the Chief Financial Officer, the People & Culture Business Partner leads the day-to-day delivery of HR services, programs, and policies across Woodtone’s Chilliwack, BC and Everett, WA locations. This is a hands-on, tactically-focused role covering the full range of core HR functions — recruitment, onboarding, employee relations, performance administration, and training coordination. Strategic people and culture direction is set by the CEO and CFO; the People & Culture Business Partner is responsible for translating that direction into consistent, well-executed HR practices on the ground.
The ideal candidate is a practical, personable HR generalist with strong business acumen and a genuine interest in people. They build trust quickly, solve problems pragmatically, stay organized under competing priorities, and are comfortable being visible and engaged on the floor as much as in the office.
