Senior Accountant

About the Company

Freres Engineered Wood, formerly Freres Lumber Co., Inc., was established in 1922 in Lyons, Oregon. For over a century, three generations of family management have led our veneer and plywood manufacturing facilities in the Santiam Canyon, with a commitment to operating for another 100+ years.

We operate six processing plants, reinvesting in modern facilities to produce high-quality wood products ranging from raw logs to finished goods like specialty veneer, sheathing-grade plywood, and electricity. Our passion for continuous improvement and innovation has made us the sole producer of the patented Mass Ply Panel (MPP), revolutionizing the mass timber market.

You will collaborate closely with internal departments, providing support on our ERP system to production managers, supervisors, and sales staff. This role also involves training and mentoring accounting staff to foster a strong, positive team environment, while serving as a backup for other accounting functions, including payroll.
