Job description

Do you enjoy working with a team? With your hands? If so, this is a great opportunity to get your foot in the door of a booming industry with one of the nation's best! Our goal is to employ people who don't shy away from hard work and who are dedicated to what they do. There's no better time than now to join Kempsville Building Materials (a division of Carter Lumber).
Our Story
Carter Lumber was founded in 1932 by W.E. Carter. For 90 years, we have strengthened our company by staying true to our values, which include honesty, hard work, and putting people first. What started as a single lumberyard in Akron, Ohio, is represented today by seven brands servicing professional builders and homeowners across thirteen states with more than 160 locations. Despite our growth, we are still a family-owned company. Our core values and our people-first culture remain the same.
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 make sure all the equipment in your area is ready for building. A computer at your workstation will provide you with all the information you need to build the truss. 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 appropriate 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.
Requirements
  • Experience in manufacturing is preferred
  • Experience in the use of a variety of tools
  • Ability to do repetitious work at a fast pace while standing for long periods of time
  • Ability to work in a team environment
  • General carpentry skills are desired
  • Ability to lift up to 100 pounds without assistance
  • Prior experience with truss assembly or general construction work is preferred.
  • Proficiency in accurately reading and interpreting tape measures.
  • Ability to safely and effectively use a hammer.
Benefits (full-time employees)
  • Health, Dental, Vision (Single and Family Plans) available after 30 days of employment
  • Short and Long-Term Disability
  • Company-paid life insurance and AD&D
  • Optional supplemental life insurance
  • Company-match 401(k)
  • Vacation time and paid holidays
  • Vendor incentives
  • Room for growth; we promote from within!
  • Military encouraged to apply!
