Pallet and Crate Builder

The Crate & Pallet Builder is responsible for constructing, assembling, repairing, and maintaining standard and custom wooden pallets, crates, and specialty wood packaging used for shipping, storage, and material handling applications. This role involves interpreting build sheets, shop drawings, and customer specifications to accurately measure, cut, and assemble lumber using hand tools, power tools, pneumatic tools, and production equipment. The builder supports safe, efficient, and high-quality production by ensuring finished products meet structural, dimensional, and customer requirements while maintaining productivity and craftsmanship standards. This position requires attention to detail, mechanical aptitude, problem-solving ability, and the physical capability to perform hands-on construction work in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Material Handler

The Material Handler supports pallet and wood packaging manufacturing operations by loading, unloading, stacking, sorting, and moving raw materials and finished products throughout the production process. Working closely with the Setup & Machine Operator (SMO) or Production Operator, this role helps maintain continuous production flow by ensuring machinery is consistently supplied with materials and finished products are safely removed, organized, and prepared for the next stage of production or shipment. Material Handlers are responsible for identifying defects, damage, or quality concerns in raw materials and finished products, removing non-conforming materials from production as needed, and assisting with maintaining machine flow, stability, and overall production efficiency. This position requires strong attention to detail, teamwork, physical endurance, and a commitment to safety and quality in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
