84 Lumber to Host Hiring Event in Greater Rochester, Seeks to Fill Immediate Openings at Retail Stores, Door Shop

EIGHTY FOUR, PA. (July 28, 2021) – 84 Lumber, the nation’s largest privately held building materials supplier, is launching a recruitment effort to fill immediate openings at retail stores and a door shop in the greater Rochester area. The company will host a Hiring Event on August 3^rd from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. at its Rochester retail store (1505 Scottsville Road, Rochester, NY 14623).

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 associates, door manufacturers, and non-CDL truck drivers. Qualified applicants may receive an offer of employment during the event.

“84 Lumber is seeking to fill 20 open positions at our Rochester area locations to add to our team of more than 50 employees in the area,” said Phil Garuccio, divisional vice president at 84 Lumber. “We’re growing along with the growth in the construction industry – here in Rochester and across the nation. We’re looking for people seeking a fresh start.”

Garuccio went on to detail the open positions.

• 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 $40,000 per year.
• Warehouse associates need no prior experience and perform essential functions behind the scenes – from the management of supply shipments to the operation of equipment. These associates can expect a starting pay of up to $14 per hour.
• Door manufacturers need no prior experience and perform essential behind-the-scenes functions in the manufacturing process of doors. These associates can expect a starting pay of up to $14 per hour.
• Non-CDL truck drivers load trucks and deliver materials to customer job sites. Drivers are 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 is up to $15 per hour.

“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,” Garuccio 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.”

Garuccio 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. 

Candidates interested in participating in the Hiring Event are asked to pre-register. To sign up, go to 84 Lumber’s Hiring Page and complete the form. Once you are registered, you will receive an email from 84 Lumber with the link to apply for the desired position.
