• A team-first attitude and a desire to help others succeed
• Familiarity with lumber products (2x4s, plywood, LVLs, treated wood, etc.) is a plus
• Must obtain a Tennessee F-Endorsement within 30 days of hire (preference given to candidates who already have this driver’s license endorsement)
• Must pass a drug screen as part of our commitment to a safe, drug-free workplace
