Let’s Grow Together 

We empower our employees to achieve their goals and shape their careers. We promote from within, invest in our people and offer programs that help employees grow and thrive.

Employees receive the skills and training they need to move to the next step in their careers. From apprenticeships, trades certifications and other professional designations, to on-the-job training, mentorship programs, skills development or courses—there is always the opportunity to learn.  

We know that competitive compensation—including both pay and benefits—is essential to our employees. Our compensation packages provide the security you are looking for with the career opportunities to enable you to build your future.  
 
Employees enjoy a full range of benefits that support the physical, mental and financial health of you and your family. From medical and dental plans to employee assistance programs, savings plans and more—our benefits align with our belief in investing in people.

From an entrepreneurial spark, West Fraser has grown to be one of the world's largest lumber producers. How? We are driven to be number one, and we are competitive as a team while having fun and being supportive of one another.
 
We take pride in what we do and in who we hire. We promote from within and provide on-the-job training and further education opportunities. We aim to be an international employer of choice, reflecting our long-held values and our commitment to a safer, healthier, more diverse, equitable and inclusive workforce.

The safety of our people is our top priority. We are proud to be recognized as an industry leader for managing safety programs, compliance and continuous improvement.
 
Our safety culture of continuous improvement is embedded into every aspect of our company, at every job and in every location. Our culture is also one of accountability, at each level—from the systems we put in place to our daily activities on the job site that keep ourselves and each other safe.

West Fraser is consistently recognized for features including our competitive compensation; outstanding safety record; high employee retention; dedication to giving back and supporting local communities; strong workplace culture and positive atmosphere; and ample training and skills development opportunities.
 
Whether we are being recognized by industry associations, local chambers of commerce or national-level awards like Top 100 Employers, 10 Best Companies to Work At or Top Employer for Young People, the message is clear: West Fraser is a fantastic place to work and an employer of choice.
Our approach includes a strong focus on people and company culture, reflecting not only our long-held values but a commitment to a safer, healthier, more diverse, equitable and inclusive workforce. We also aim to strengthen community relationships and investments where we work and partner.
