New Year, New Career Opportunities with 84 Lumber

By the middle of January, many people have already long forgotten about their New Year’s resolutions. It’s easy to fall back into our day-to-day routines and habits – but there’s one part of our lives that is not so easy to forget about: our work. According to a Pew analysis of Labor Department data, the average full-time American employee puts in more than 45 weeks straight worth of work in a single year. Odds are, if you’re ready for a new career, you’re thinking about it more than just the first few days of the new year!

If your goal this year is to find new career opportunities, add 84 Lumber to your list of companies to watch, and hopefully even apply to. Not only was 2020 a record-breaking sales year for the company, but we also celebrated multiple promotions and new hires. 84 Lumber is continuing to grow in 2021 and beyond with the addition of new lumber yards, truss plants, and door shops, and with that growth comes even more hiring.

At 84 Lumber, we are all about family. The company was founded in 1956 by Joe Hardy and is now owned by his daughter, Maggie Hardy Knox. The family values found in each of our teams set everyone up for success because you are in an environment where people truly care about you. Additionally, 84 Lumber is a known employer for veterans. The structure, hard work, teamwork, and routine are found easily in the 84 work environment.

We also love to promote from within at 84. There are hundreds of stories where an associate started as a manager trainee and is now a manager, area manager, vice president, or chief officer. Maggie herself started as a manager trainee! The opportunities are endless at 84 Lumber.

A new associate does not need a degree or background in the construction industry to get hired. 84 Lumber has a top-notch training program to help each new associate get started with the knowledge they need to build a strong career foundation.

We are looking for motivated individuals who want to dedicate themselves to their future and put in the work to get there. The dream career path you are looking for is here at 84 Lumber. Start your new year with new career opportunities, and apply today!
