EIGHTY FOUR, Pa., Sept. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- 84 Lumber, the nation's largest privately held building materials supplier, is launching a recruitment effort to fill immediate openings at stores throughout New Jersey. The company will host a Hiring Event on September 28th from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the 84 Lumber Pleasantville location (6738 Black Horse Pike, Egg Harbor Township, NJ 08234).

At the event, job seekers will learn more about the company culture and get the opportunity to be interviewed for open positions in the area that include manager trainees (MT), warehouse and forklift associates, door shop manufacturers, and non-CDL truck drivers. Qualified job seekers may receive an offer of employment during the event and will be able to participate in a pre-employment drug screening at the location.

"84 Lumber is seeking to fill 10 open positions at our New Jersey locations to add to our team of more than 85 employees in the area," said John Hay, divisional vice president at 84 Lumber. "We're growing along with the growth in the construction industry – here in New Jersey and across the nation. We're looking for people seeking a fresh start."

Hay went on to detail the openings in the region:

Manager trainees (MTs) hired by 84 Lumber enter an intensive, one-on-one, on-the-job training program that teaches them about the company's business and puts them on a path to become a future leader within the enterprise. Starting compensation for manager trainees is $43,000 per year.
Warehouse and forklift associates need no prior experience and perform essential functions behind the scenes – from the management of supply shipments to the operation of forklifts and other equipment. These associates can expect a starting pay of up to $14 per hour.
Door shop manufacturers need no prior experience and are involved in the manufacturing of doors. These associates can expect a starting pay of up to $14 per hour.
Non-CDL truck drivers load trucks and deliver materials to customer job sites. These associates are also responsible for building loads for deliveries; maintaining a safe, clean, and well-organized lumber yard; and loading and unloading lumber and building supplies. Hourly pay for drivers is up to $14 per hour.

Hay added that 84 Lumber expects it might find the right fit from all types of candidates – an individual with no construction experience, military veterans ready to embark on their next career challenge, or people with some previous work experience who seek to redirect their career.

"We are hosting our recruitment events at our retail locations, because it gives candidates a better sense of our company culture and how we operate," said Hay. "We are proud to be a family-owned company, and we are committed to helping our employees build and cultivate a career with us. In fact, 95% of our store managers started in our manager trainee program."

Candidates interested in participating in the Hiring Event are asked to pre-register. To sign up, go to 84 Lumber's Hiring Page and complete the form. Once you are registered, you will receive an email from 84 Lumber with the link to apply for the desired position.
