Here we believe our employees come first. We strive to create an environment that is inclusive, recognizes the hard work and care that occurs every day, and are very proud of our safety record because we take the ideas of each of our employees and turn them into solutions.
So what do we make?
We are a state-of-the-art LVL Manufacturing facility that produces engineered wood for structural buildings throughout the United States and internationally.
Used for headers, beams, rim board and columns, laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is made under factory-controlled specifications. It is stronger, straighter, and more uniform than typical milled lumber and much less likely than conventional lumber to warp, twist, bow or shrink.
Employees at Pacific Woodtech (PWT) feel good knowing that the products they make help to reduce our carbon footprint. Engineered wood products (EWP) produced by PWT more efficiently uses raw materials from logs that are sourced from sustainably harvested timberlands. Since EWP is stronger than solid lumber, less material is required in construction.
What are the jobs?
The positions that we have available are in our Press and Packaging departments.
The Press Dept. is where we manufacture LVL by running machines to set or “layup“ the wood with glue and literally press it together to form a large board or “billet.”
From there the billet moves on to the Packaging Dept. where it is cut or “ripped” into smaller widths, coated, stacked, and wrapped into a package for shipment to our customers.
You will be an integral member of the team to run the machinery, provide input on how to improve our processes, and make sure that the quality of the product is top notch.
