“At 84 Lumber, we are on the leading edge of the ongoing rise in residential construction across the nation,” said Mark Vinson, area manager at 84 Lumber. “Greater demand for our products means a need for more motivated, dedicated employees who want to take advantage of the phenomenal growth opportunity in our industry.

• Production associates perform essential functions behind the scenes – from the management of supply shipments to the operation of equipment. Associates work in the manufacturing processes to verify dimensions of precut parts and the accuracy of assemblies, engineered wood products, trusses, and components. Starting compensation for production associates is $17.50 per hour for first shift and $17.50 per hour plus shift differential for second shift.

“As a family-owned company, 84 Lumber is committed to helping our employees build a long-term career with us. We are proud to say that 95% of our store managers started in our manager trainee program,” Vinson said. “We believe that a wide variety of candidates can find a home with the company and open doors for themselves – a person with no construction experience but a desire to learn, military veterans ready to open their next chapter, or someone simply ready to make a fresh start. We’ll give every one of them the tools to grow.”

Candidates interested in participating in the Hiring Event should pre-register online and complete the form. Registrants will then receive an email from 84 Lumber with the link to apply for the desired position. To save time, Vinson strongly encourages candidates to apply for positions online before they attend the event.

On-site pre-employment drug screening will be available for applicants at the hiring event. Candidates who advance in the process will also be required to pass a background check prior to employment.
