84 Lumber to Host Hiring Event in Indianapolis Area, Seeks to Fill Immediate Openings at Retail Stores

EIGHTY FOUR, PA. (July 15, 2021) – 84 Lumber, the nation’s largest privately held building materials supplier, is launching a recruitment effort to fill immediate openings at their locations in the Indianapolis region. The company will host a Hiring Event on July 20^th from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. at its Greenwood retail store (484 East Worthsville Road, Greenwood, IN 46143).

At the event, job seekers will learn more about the company culture and get the opportunity to be interviewed for open positions in the area that include manager trainee, truck driver, warehouse associate, and truss production associate. Qualified applicants may receive an offer of employment during the event. 

“84 Lumber is seeking to fill 15 open positions in the greater Indianapolis area, including our locations in Greenwood, Indianapolis, and Franklin,” said Phil Garuccio, divisional vice president at 84 Lumber. “We’re growing along with the growth in the construction industry – here in the Indianapolis region and across the nation. We’re looking for people seeking a fresh start.”

Woodrow went on to detail the openings in the region:

• Manager trainees hired by 84 Lumber enter an intensive, one-on-one, on-the-job training program that teaches them about the company’s business and puts them on a path to become a future leader within the enterprise. Starting compensation for manager trainees is $40,000 per year.
• Non-CDL truck drivers load trucks and deliver materials to customer job sites. Drivers are responsible for building loads for deliveries; maintaining a safe, clean, and well-organized lumber yard; and loading and unloading lumber and building supplies. Hourly pay for drivers is up to $14 per hour.
• Warehouse associates need no prior experience and perform essential functions behind the scenes from the management of supply shipments to the operation of forklifts and other equipment. These associates can expect a starting pay of up to $14 per hour.
• Production associates need no prior experience and perform essential behind-the-scenes functions in the manufacturing processes related to engineered wood products, trusses, and components. These associates can expect a starting pay of between $13.50 and $14.50 per hour based on experience.

“We are a family-owned company, which means we are committed to helping our employees build and cultivate a career with us. In fact, 95% of our store managers started in our manager trainee program,” Garuccio said. “As we see it, 84 Lumber recruits individuals with a can-do attitude, a willingness to work hard, and a desire to learn. Once we find these people and they join the company, we teach and train them and find ways for them to grow with us.”

Garuccio added that 84 Lumber expects it might find the right fit from all types of candidates – an individual with no construction experience, military veterans ready to embark on their next career challenge, or people with some previous work experience who seek to redirect their career. 

Candidates interested in participating in the Hiring Event are asked to pre-register. To sign up, go to 84 Lumber’s Hiring Page and complete the form. Once you are registered, you will receive an email from 84 Lumber with the link to apply for the desired position.
