Job Description
Step Into the Line: A Day in This Role

Picture the start of your 10-hour shift: the green chain hums, boards arrive in a steady rhythm, and you’re the steady hand that keeps production flowing. You pull lumber from a fast-moving conveyor, read the size and grade markings at a glance, and stack precisely where each board belongs. Safety is second nature, teamwork is constant, and productivity is the heartbeat of the sawmill floor.

  • Sort boards from a high-speed conveyor by size and markings with accuracy and urgency.
  • Lift, stack, push, and pull lumber for the full shift while following all safety procedures.
  • Collaborate closely with a tight-knit crew committed to safety, quality, and pace.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
  • Starting pay of $23.00 per hour.
  • Four-day workweek with 10-hour shifts.
  • Evaluation-to-hire path with the potential to transition to a long-term role.
  • Upon permanent hire: opportunities for wage increases and excellent benefits.
  • Join a stable, well-established wood products manufacturer building premium fencing materials for customers across North America—an operation with a strong reputation and long-term career potential.
