84 Lumber to Host Hiring Event in Dallas, TX, Seeks to Fill Immediate Openings at Door Shop, Retail Stores

EIGHTY FOUR, PA. (May 6, 2021) – 84 Lumber, the nation’s largest privately held building materials supplier, is launching a recruitment effort to fill immediate openings at manufacturing facilities and multiple retail locations in the Dallas region. The company will host a Hiring Event on May 13^th from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Dallas West/I-30 (2100 N. Cockrell Hill Road, Dallas, TX). 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 trainee (MT); driver; sales coordinator; and lumber yard, warehouse, door shop, and production associate. Qualified job seekers may receive an offer of employment during the event.

“84 Lumber is seeking to fill more than 30 positions at four different locations across the Dallas region, including three stores and two production facilities,” said Jorge Espinoza, divisional vice president at 84 Lumber. “We’re growing along with the growth in the construction industry – here in the Dallas region and across the nation. We’re looking for people seeking a fresh start.”

Espinoza 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 more than $40,000 per year.
• Lumber yard, warehouse, door shop, and production associates need no prior experience and perform essential functions behind the scenes – from the management of supply shipments to the operation of equipment. Production associates work in the manufacturing processes related to engineered wood products, trusses, and components. These associates can expect a starting pay of between $12 and $17 per hour based on experience.
• Drivers load trucks and deliver materials to customer job sites. Hourly pay for the job is between $12 and $17 per hour depending on experience.
• Sales coordinators perform essential customer service activities to support the sales associates and stores. Sales coordinators earn between $12 and $20 per hour based on experience.

“We are a family-owned company, which means 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,” Espinoza said. “As we see it, 84 Lumber recruits individuals with a can-do attitude, a willingness to work hard, and a desire to learn. Once we find these people and they join the company, we teach and train them and find ways for them to grow with us.”

Espinoza 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.
