84 Lumber is launching a full-scale recruitment effort to fill openings at its locations in greater Orlando, which includes stores in Winter Garden, Fla., Tavares, Fla., and Sanford, Fla., as well as a door shop in Tavares, Fla.
The dealer will host an Interview Day on October 8 at its Sanford location. At the event, job seekers will learn more about the company culture, take a tour, and get the opportunity to be interviewed for open positions, including management trainees and lumberyard, warehouse, and door shop associates. 84 Lumber noted all attendees will be required to wear face masks and practice social distancing at the event.
“At 84 Lumber, we’re proud to be an American company focused on putting America back to work at a time when many people are seeking employment or a fresh start during these challenging times. The residential housing sector is booming, which means our business continues to expand,” Rob Woodrow, divisional vice president of the southeast, said in a news release.
Management trainees 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 the path to become a future leader, according to the dealer. Associates need no prior experience and perform functions behind the scenes, from management of supply shipments to operation of heavy equipment.
“We are a family-owned company, which means we are committed to helping our employees build and cultivate a career with us,” Woodrow said. “In fact, more than 95% of our store managers started as MTs (management trainees), and nearly all of our store leadership team began on the MT track.”
Eighty Four, Pa.-based 84 Lumber ranked fourth on the 2020 ProSales 100. The dealer operates nearly 250 stores, components manufacturing plants, custom door shops, custom millwork shops, and engineered wood product centers in more than 30 states.
