Sawmill Employee
Location: Haliburton, Ontario
We are hiring motivated individuals for a variety of positions at our sawmill.
The positions include operating equipment, piling lumber, maintaining machinery, and sorting products. Some positions require experience and some do not.
All positions require physical strength as well as the ability to lift heavy objects, climb up and down, and put in a full day of work every day. All employees are expected to be flexible and willing to pitch in wherever they are needed on a daily basis.
Compensation will depend on experience, abilities, qualifications, and the position accepted.
Our sawmill operates on four ten-hour shifts per week, meaning that employees are paid for a full 40 hours per week but every weekend is a three-day weekend.
Employees enjoy a number of “perks,” regardless of their position, including full access to the 100,000 acres of hardwood forest that we own and manage in Haliburton County.
Our compensation is competitive and all employees have three weeks of paid vacation per year.
If you are up to working hard and have a good attitude, whether or not you have experience, apply for a position at Haliburton Forest!
