This position offers a clear pathway to advance to multiple positions within the company.

Key Responsibilities

· Assist delivery drivers with the loading and unloading of materials onto delivery trucks.

· Ensure that all materials are properly secured and safely transported.

· Maintain the organization and cleanliness of the lumber yard.

· Perform inventory checks and report any discrepancies.

· Operate forklifts and other equipment as needed (training will be provided).

Typical Day

On any day you would arrive for your shift and check the delivery board for that day. You may be going out with a driver, have your own load to deliver, or be assisting load builders in the yard. If you are headed out with a driver you would find them and see what they need help loading or prepping for the delivery. If you are taking something out, you would get your paperwork from dispatch, and then get the truck you have been assigned loaded, get invoiced and then take the load to a jobsite. If you're in the yard, it may be pulling a load for a later delivery, rotating stock, unloading a truck, or assisting customers, no day is the same.


Opportunities for Advancement

This position will let you see which departments you fit into best, allow you to learn all the foundations of the yard, and offer multiple avenues for advancement.

This position is designed to provide a pathway for career growth within our company. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to transition into a driving position, lead builder, and eventually a supervisor, gaining additional responsibilities and benefits. We are committed to supporting our employees' professional development and providing training to help them succeed in their roles.
