PRODUCTION OPERATOR - CAMDEN LUMBER

Georgia-Pacific is now hiring for a Production Worker for our Camden, Texas Lumber mill. We manufacture Southern Yellow Pine 3x4s and 4x4s used in a multitude of residential and commercial projects. Lumber is made by processing logs from harvested trees into useable boards for various purposes. Logs are debarked and cut down into 3x4s and 4x4s at our Sawmill. The boards are then dried in a Kiln 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 such uses as fence posts, deck support posts, shed and building framing, pergolas and outdoor structures, mailbox posts and signposts, landscaping projects, DIY furniture and crafts and many more things.
