About the role

Hampton Lumber is a thriving family-owned company aspiring to be North America's preferred source for responsibly-sourced wood solutions. Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, we operate ten sawmills across Oregon, Washington, South Carolina, and British Columbia.

Our mission is to grow, manufacture, and market renewable wood products and deliver innovative solutions for a more sustainable built environment. At Hampton Lumber, we accomplish this through our own operations as well as those of our affiliates—Trapa Forest Products, Idaho Timber, and RedBuilt. Our motto, "Find a better way every day," encapsulates our commitment to innovation and improvement across all operations. We are guided by our core values: Safety, Integrity & Authenticity, Responsible Stewardship, Tenacity, Continuous Improvement, Customer Satisfaction, and Community Engagement. With over 80 years in the sawmill business, we are proud to have cultivated the knowledge and experience needed to grow and prosper, even in challenging times.
