84 Lumber to Host Hiring Event in Denton, TX, Seeks to Fill Immediate Openings at Retail Store

EIGHTY FOUR, PA. (August 18, 2021) – 84 Lumber, the nation’s largest privately held building materials supplier, is launching a recruitment effort to fill immediate openings in Denton, TX. The company will host a Hiring Event on August 25^th from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Denton Convention Center (3100 Town Center Trail, Denton, TX 76201).

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, window service technicians, entry-level sales coordinators/data entry clerks, and non-CDL truck drivers and load builders. Qualified job seekers may receive an offer of employment during the event. 

“84 Lumber is seeking to fill 15 open positions at our Denton retail store to add to our team of more than 60 employees in the area,” said Jorge Espinoza, divisional vice president at 84 Lumber. “We’re growing along with the growth in the construction industry – here in Denton 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 $42,000 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 $18 per hour.
• Window service technicians are responsible for servicing windows sold to builders, including the installation of windows and screens, stocking inventory, and window and door inspections. Starting compensation for these technicians is $13 per hour.
• Entry-level coordinators/data entry clerks are responsible for helping salespeople with customer service activities, including creating estimates, sourcing products to fulfill orders, taking vendor phone calls, invoicing of materials, and serving as the accounts receivable person. Compensation is based on experience.
• Non-CDL truck drivers and load builders 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 and load builders is between $13 and $14 per hour.

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. 

“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.”
