About the position
The Green Waste Recycle Yard is hiring a full-time Sawmill & Lumber Yard Operator to join our production team in Richmond.
While we are willing to train the right person, this is not an entry-level yard labor position. It is a production role, focused on milling accuracy, material handling, and craftsmanship. This is hands-on, physically demanding work in an active sawmill and lumber yard environment. If you have sawmill experience, that's a plus. If you come from carpentry, construction, landscaping, or equipment-heavy roles and are mechanically inclined, this could be your future.
Are you interested in wood? This role provides exposure to large-dimension timbers and a range of hardwood species not typically found in traditional lumber yards.
This is an opportunity to develop real woodworking and carving skills within a production environment while contributing to the company's finished product line.
About the companyAt the GWRY, we salvage urban logs and mill them into dimensional lumber, landscape timbers, slabs, and other wood products made from 100% recycled, locally sourced material

- Ability to lift 50 lbs. regularly and up to 100 lbs. occasionally
- Consistent attendance and commitment to safety and a valid and clean CA driver's license
