At POLYWOOD®, we believe in creating spaces that connect people with the outdoors and with each other. We design and build outdoor furniture that’s as durable as it is timeless, using sustainable materials like our genuine POLYWOOD® lumber made from recycled plastics.

That’s why safety is at the heart of how we operate. We know that protecting our employees and empowering them to work with confidence is essential to our success. This role is a key part of that mission, helping us uphold high standards of compliance, innovation, and care for the people who make POLYWOOD® possible.
