Entry Level Position
This is an entry level position that is designed to train you on the basic operation in the planer or sawmill. You will learn a variety of machines and tasks. The majority of your time is standing and walking. This includes frequently picking up pieces of board from table height or the floor. These boards weigh on average 5 - 35 lbs., occasionally more. The job involves clean-up activities including sweeping, shoveling and lifting. You will eventually be assigned to a specific area and will be trained to perform the operator's job in that area, to assist and "break-out" the operator. There may be some heavy lifting requirements on occasions. Once certified on a machine you will qualify for a pay increase.
