Job description

Your Job

Georgia-Pacific is now hiring for an Electrician for our Madison, GA Plywood facility! We manufacture pine plywood panels and siding that are ideal for residential and light commercial construction like subflooring, wall and roof sheathing, and concrete formwork.

Plywood is a strong, versatile product made by gluing together thin layers (veneers) of wood with the grain of each layer running in opposite directions. This cross-graining makes it stable, durable, and resistant to warping.

We anticipate this role to pay between $32 to $38 depending on experience and knowledge level.
