Forklift Operator 

Basic Description:

Forklift operators load packs onto the infeed lines to the two planer machines and unloads kilns. Operators must also remove the cross-outs when loading the infeed lines and occasionally adjust runners and cross-outs when unloading the kilns. Under normal circumstances, there are two forklift operators during day shift and only one on night shift.

Cross-outs are wood separators placed between packs to increase the flow of steam during kiln-drying. Cross-outs weigh an average of 15 lbs when dry and 30 lbs when green. Packs are usually stacked 5 packs high and the top pack does not have cross-outs.

An average of 100 packs per day are loaded onto the infeed lines. With two operators, this averages to about 40 times per day that a single forklift operator must exit their lift to remove cross-outs. This is not including the incidental times that an operator must exit the lift to adjust cross-outs or runners during unloading of kilns or when they go on breaks. When 8-, 10-, & 12- ft length lumber, the operator does not exit the lift as much due to the longer run time need for these lengths.

What you need to be successful: 

• High School Diploma or GED 

• Ability to work in hot, cold, dusty and noisy industrial environment 

• Ability to bend, twist, lift, climb, stand throughout the duration of the shift 

• Ability to perform all tasks in accordance with West Fraser safety policies and procedures 

• Recognize and support our team culture, communicating effectively with all team members 

• Offers of employment are contingent upon successful completion of a pre-employment background check, drug screen test and physical 

What will make you stand out: 

• Be willing to work Thursdays, Fridays and some Saturdays 

• Must be willing to perform all job assignments in an effective and timely manner with minimal supervision 

• Ability to work rotating shifts, holidays and weekends 

• Minimum of six (6) months in a manufacturing or industrial environment preferred 

Outstanding benefits package including: 

• Benefits starting Day 1 

• Competitive starting pay 

• On-the-job training 

• A culture that strongly believes in promoting from within 

• Medical, Dental & Vision 

• 401K with company match and additional retirement contribution 

• Employee Stock Purchase Plan 

• Life Insurance 

• Disability Insurance 

• Paid vacations and holidays

Forklift Operator 

Basic Description:

Forklift operators load packs onto the infeed lines to the two planer machines and unloads kilns. Operators must also remove the cross-outs when loading the infeed lines and occasionally adjust runners and cross-outs when unloading the kilns. Under normal circumstances, there are two forklift operators during day shift and only one on night shift.

Cross-outs are wood separators placed between packs to increase the flow of steam during kiln-drying. Cross-outs weigh an average of 15 lbs when dry and 30 lbs when green. Packs are usually stacked 5 packs high and the top pack does not have cross-outs.

An average of 100 packs per day are loaded onto the infeed lines. With two operators, this averages to about 40 times per day that a single forklift operator must exit their lift to remove cross-outs. This is not including the incidental times that an operator must exit the lift to adjust cross-outs or runners during unloading of kilns or when they go on breaks. When 8-, 10-, & 12- ft length lumber, the operator does not exit the lift as much due to the longer run time need for these lengths.

What you need to be successful: 

• High School Diploma or GED 

• Ability to work in hot, cold, dusty and noisy industrial environment 

• Ability to bend, twist, lift, climb, stand throughout the duration of the shift 

• Ability to perform all tasks in accordance with West Fraser safety policies and procedures 

• Recognize and support our team culture, communicating effectively with all team members 

• Offers of employment are contingent upon successful completion of a pre-employment background check, drug screen test and physical 

What will make you stand out: 

• Be willing to work Thursdays, Fridays and some Saturdays 

• Must be willing to perform all job assignments in an effective and timely manner with minimal supervision 

• Ability to work rotating shifts, holidays and weekends 

• Minimum of six (6) months in a manufacturing or industrial environment preferred 

Outstanding benefits package including: 

• Benefits starting Day 1 

• Competitive starting pay 

• On-the-job training 

• A culture that strongly believes in promoting from within 

• Medical, Dental & Vision 

• 401K with company match and additional retirement contribution 

• Employee Stock Purchase Plan 

• Life Insurance 

• Disability Insurance 

• Paid vacations and holidays
