Electrical Technician - Albany, GA Lumber

Your Job

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

Lumber is made by processing logs from harvested trees into useable boards and planks for construction and manufacturing. Logs are debarked and cut down into rough lumber. The boards are then 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.

Our starting pay is at $30/hr. depending on experience. You will have the ability to increase your compensation based on skills and contribution to the overall performance of the mill.
