84 Lumber to Host Hiring Event in Greenville, SC, Seeks to Fill Immediate Openings in Retail Store, Door Shop

EIGHTY FOUR, PA. (April 29, 2021) – 84 Lumber, the nation’s largest privately held building materials supplier, is launching a recruitment effort to fill immediate openings at its retail and manufacturing locations in the greater Greenville area. The company will host a Hiring Event on May 6 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Greenville, SC, retail store (675 South Old Piedmont Highway). At the event, job seekers will learn more about the company culture and get the opportunity to be interviewed for nearly a dozen open positions in the area that include manager trainee (MT), driver, and door shop associate. Qualified job seekers may receive an offer of employment during the event.

“84 Lumber has both a retail store and a door manufacturing facility in the area, and we are proud to employ nearly 70 people in the region,” said Rob Woodrow, divisional vice president at 84 Lumber. “We’re growing along with the growth in the construction industry – here in Greenville 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 (MTs) 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 more than $40,000 per year.
• Door shop associates need no prior experience and are involved in the manufacturing of doors. These associates can expect a starting pay of between $12 and $17 per hour based on experience.
• Drivers load trucks and deliver materials to customer job sites. Hourly pay for the job is between $12 and $17 per hour depending 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,” Woodrow 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.”

Woodrow 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.
