Description

Overview
We’re looking for energetic and reliable post‑secondary students to join our production team for a 16‑week summer work term. This is hands‑on, fast‑paced work that offers strong summer earnings, valuable industry experience, and the chance to work alongside an experienced production team. Students play an important role in our operations and are valued contributors—not just seasonal help.
 What You’ll Be Doing
As a Summer Production Worker, you’ll support operations across the mill, including the planer mill. Responsibilities may include:
  • Assisting with general labour tasks in the mill
  • Working on production lines to sort, stack, or move lumber in an automated manufacturing environment
  • Supporting mill operators and production staff as required
  • Monitoring equipment and ensuring materials flow smoothly
  • Performing quality checks and following standardized procedures
  • Maintaining clean, organized, and safe work areas
  • Following all safety procedures and company policies
  • Completing other duties as assigned
You’ll receive full on‑the‑job training and ongoing support to help you succeed.
 Who We’re Looking For
This role is a great fit for students who:
  • Are 18+ and currently enrolled in a college or university program
  • Are available to work full‑time from May to August
  • Enjoy hands‑on, physical work and being part of a team
  • Are reliable, safety‑minded, and willing to learn
  • Can adapt to a fast‑paced environment and follow clear procedures
  • Are comfortable being on their feet and working in an industrial setting
  • Want to build real‑world experience that translates into future career opportunities
No previous mill or manufacturing experience is required—we provide all training.
What You’ll Gain
  • Strong summer earnings at $22.76/hour
  • A $750 end‑of‑term bonus for perfect attendance
  • Hands‑on experience in a modern lumber manufacturing facility
  • Exposure to the forestry and wood‑products industry
  • A supportive team environment with experienced supervisors and coworkers
  • Skills and experience that can support future employment opportunities
