- Ability to safely operate forklifts, pallet jacks, lumber carts, saws, and other material-handling equipment. Forklift experience or certification is an asset
- Basic math skills for measuring and calculating quantities of lumber and building materials
- Strong attention to detail when receiving, verifying, organizing, and handling merchandise




- Safety-conscious, willing to learn, and committed to following established procedures and contributing to a positive team environment

- Provide friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable service to customers
- Receive and handle merchandise accurately and efficiently
- Keep the yard, warehouse, and inventory organized and ready for customers and staff
