Job description

Job Description

Trusses are the structural components that support roofs and floors in residential home buildings. They are created by connecting lumber with metal plates, and in this position, you would be responsible for building these components. To begin each day, you will complete a start-up checklist to ensure all equipment is ready. A computer at your workstation will provide all the information you need. Based on the design, you and your team will set up a framework on the building table, within which the truss will take shape. Then you will place each piece of lumber in the correct position and join them with metal plates. Once all plates have been put in place, you will use a large roller to flatten the plates and merge them with the lumber. After a quality check to ensure there are no mistakes, you’ll move on to your next truss.
