A wide range of fulfilling career opportunities available
Bowens is a family owned business with a proud history dating back to 1894. We are a leader in the supply of timber and building products to the building trade and do-it-yourself retail market. Our business is known in the industry for our passion for trade and investment in staff development and growth.
At Bowens, we’re here to help you build a career, to give you the opportunity to work within a dedicated and valued team and, of course, to have fun. After all, we’re not just a timber and hardware company.
Bowens is well aware of the gender inequality in the construction industry and we’re working hard to bridge the gap. Our yearly Women in Trade event aims to inspire, engage and support women in the building industry.
Pssst. Do you want to be a rockstar? You’re not the only one. At Bowens, we work hard but we also love a good event.
You’ll have the opportunity to take part in the Bowens Unearthed rock music event, the Bowens Women in Trade event and be privy to free barista-made coffees, cooked BBQ breakfasts on Fridays, wellbeing programs and a lot more. Join our team today! You won’t regret it!
At Bowens, we recognise the contribution of our staff and their continuous commitment to meeting our company values.
Every two years, we gather together our dedicated employees who have been with us for a decade or more to celebrate at our Bowens Long-Termers Event. It’s a chance for our team to reunite, highlight their achievements, and discuss their remarkable memories of working at Bowens.
Bowens is committed to protecting the privacy of its employees in all areas, including the collection, security, use and disclosure of their personal information. Read our privacy policy for employees here.
As Bowens operates across multiple locations with multiple hiring managers we encourage applicants to apply for as many roles as they are interested in.
Due to the high volume of applications, we will only personally contact those that are successful in progressing to the next stage of the recruitment process.
All applications are confidential and Bowens would not do anything to compromise your existing employment.
The process can vary depending on the position you have applied for. Typically, if your application is shortlisted a manager will contact you to arrange a time for an interview at the store location. If successful in progressing to the next stage you will undergo a pre-employment medical at your closest clinic. If you are the best fit for the role Bowens will then job offer you and you will receive your digital onboarding pack via email to sign.
Absolutely! When we recruit we may only be seeking one person for a position. Although unsuccessful on that occasion, you may be the best-suited applicant next time or for a different position.
