About the role
Position Title: Sr. Graphic Designer
Job Type: FULL TIME
Location: HEAD OFFICE | 20039 96 Ave, Langley BC
WINDSOR PLYWOOD | HEAD OFFICE
Our stores specialize in hard-to-source interior and exterior home finishing products including flooring, doors, mouldings and specialty wood products. Our business model is also very different as most of our locations are family affairs – independently locally owned and operated – not top-down like most franchise groups. We carry high quality, responsibly sourced products and are committed to providing outstanding value and personalized, one-on-one service to our store operators.
We are proud to have been in business for over 50 years with 55+ stores across Canada and into the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Head Office prioritizes supporting the Stores above all else. A great deal of autonomy is provided to Stores; however, they look to Head Office regularly for guidance and expect to be informed on the newest marketing and design trends. The Building Supply industry has generally not adapted to new marketing trends as quick as other industries. However, the recent succession of several of our stores to younger owners is facilitating a greater demand for current marketing mediums.
