Job Description

The European market leader in solid wood products and innovative construction solutions

About Our Company

In 1957, Franz Binder, sr. founded the independent family business binderholz as a small “one-gate sawmill” in Fügen in Zillertal of Tyrol. What began sixty years ago in the timber trade has now evolved into a comprehensive wood processing operation. New standards are continuously being implemented in engineering, product innovation, and architectural design. The third generation of the Binder family retains overall management of the company and maintains their predecessors’ original inspiration for the product.

The binderholz group has become one of the biggest solid timber producing companies in Europe. We are centrally oriented on the concept of sustainability in the treatment and processing of wood, as well as regarding our present and future employees.

A passion for wood and commitment to the business are the foundation of Binder's philosophy. This ethos ensures that the name of binderholz symbolizes the highest quality wood. Franz Binder senior turned his passion for wood into a profession during the 1950s, and this passion continues with the third generation of the Binder family.

In 2020, we acquired our new US production sites Binderholz Enfield LLC and Binderholz Live Oak LLC in Florida, developing our US organization and market presence. We have been importing various mass timber products to the US and Canada for years, and with our own US sales entity in Atlanta, GA, and our new production sites in Enfield, NC, and Live Oak, FL, we are meeting the growing demand for saw timber and massive wood products through regionally sourced and produced binderholz products in America.

Come join our growing team at Binderholz Enfield as our Log Yard Heavy Equipment Operator! We offer competitive wages along with our full benefits package.

We look forward to considering you as part of our team at Binderholz.
