About the Role

As a Truss Manufacturing Technician, you’ll turn raw lumber into precision-built roof and floor trusses that anchor barns across the Mountain West. You’ll read engineered drawings, set up jigs, operate saws and hydraulic presses, and work with a team committed to quality, safety, and speed.

Responsibilities
  • Blueprint & jig setup using shop drawings
  • Operating automated saws and hand tools
  • Truss assembly and plate pressing
  • Quality control checks for embedment and dimensions
  • Following all safety and housekeeping protocols
  • Suggesting process improvements for speed and accuracy
  • Communicating with sawyers, forklift drivers, and shipping
What You Bring

Required:

  • 1+ year experience in truss plant, framing, or heavy carpentry
  • Comfortable using nailers, saws, and shop tools
  • Can read a tape measure and shop drawings
  • Able to lift 75 lbs and be on your feet for 8–10 hours
  • Growth mindset and strong attention to detail

Nice-to-Have:

  • MiTek or Alpine software knowledge
  • Forklift experience
  • Desire to grow into a leadership role (Crew Lead, Quality Tech)
Perks
  • PTO & Sick Time
  • 6 Paid Holidays
  • Cross-training and advancement opportunities
  • Employee discounts on WBS materials
  • High-performance culture with daily huddles and clear metrics
Who Thrives Here
  • Hands-on problem solvers
  • People who own their work and take pride in precision
  • Team players who communicate well under pressure
  • Individuals who want to grow and improve every week
Who This Role Is Not For
  • You need to be reminded to show up on time
  • You think “close enough” is good enough
  • You avoid hard conversations or blame others for mistakes
  • You’re not comfortable working on your feet, lifting heavy materials, or being physically active
  • You shut down under pressure instead of stepping up
  • You see feedback as criticism instead of growth
  • You just want a paycheck—not a place to grow
