Norwood Sawmills is hiring for inside sales, customer experience, warehouse associates, packing, order fulfillment, and material handling positions.

Norwood Sawmills is growing rapidly and is looking to hire 25 full-time people for a variety of jobs within the global company rooted in our region.

The Oro-Medonte company started out as a portable sawmill company. Since its inception in 1993, the company has grown into a major "global lifestyle brand" for woodworking equipment.

Lauren Redman, the company's digital marketing lead, says the company has been growing rapidly.

“We are operating in over 100 counties worldwide, but being located in Oro gives our employees an opportunity to be surrounded by nature and woods, which is a lifestyle that they kind of grew up with,” Redman said.

The 25 new roles include inside sales, customer experience, warehouse associates, packing, order fulfilment, and material handling.

“It’s a very exciting time for the business. We are growing significantly and we are currently the global leader in sawmill innovation. We have 70 patents on our equipment and are selling it in over 100 counties worldwide,” Redman said.

“This is an opportunity to work for a global leader at a company that feels very North American because it’s working with wood. In terms of the company culture, it’s a very family-oriented business and our employees feel that," said Redman.

Patrick Racine, Norwood's president, says the company is proud to be creating many "premium-quality career opportunities" in the local community and contribute to the region’s post-COVID economic recovery.

“To stay ahead of Norwood’s remarkable growth, we need to keep adding more talented team members who, like us, are excited to be part of this journey of unbridled growth and opportunity,” he said.

“This is a great time to join Norwood and be part of a global team right here in Simcoe County.”
