Electrical Technician - Albany, GA

Overview

Georgia-Pacific is hiring an Electrical Technician to join our Lumber facility in Albany, GA. We manufacture Southern Yellow Pine Lumber used in residential and commercial construction.

Lumber is produced by processing logs from harvested trees into usable boards and planks for construction and manufacturing. Logs are debarked and cut into rough lumber. The boards are dried to remove moisture and prevent warping or decay. After drying, the lumber is planed and smoothed to uniform dimensions and graded for quality based on strength, appearance and defects. Finally, the lumber is packaged and shipped for use in building homes, furniture, flooring and other wood products.
