Baywood is a family‑owned timber manufacturing business based in Maryborough, Queensland and for over 35 years, we have supplied quality timber products to the construction industry, with a solid focus on safety, reliability and continuous improvement. As an organisation we are dedicated to our people, our values and driving a safety culture. We are committed to providing a work / life balance that allows our employees to spend quality time away from work, enjoying time with family, friends and lifestyle activities. Being part of Team Baywood means enjoying a work environment where our culture strongly aligns with our company values and strategic plan.

Baywood has recently completed a major drymill upgrade and is now commissioning a state‑of‑the‑art automated sawmill, reinforcing our commitment to innovation and operational excellence. With this new sawmilling equipment and a commitment to innovation, sustainability, and excellence, we’re setting new benchmarks in quality, environmental stewardship and long‑term value for our customers and their communities.
