SAWMILL WORKER

Green Mill Workers process raw logs into timber, flooring, decking and other basic timber products. This involves manual tasks in the mill and operating various machinery used to process the timber. Raw logs are stripped of their bark and other rough material and cut to the required shape and size using a variety of mechanical saws. Mill workers can be involved in seasoning timber, rough sawing or planing timber and treating timber in kilns. They examine finished timber to determine its grade and quality before it is packed and shipped to customers.

Timber Production Coordinators arrange the production of timber building components such as framing and trusses. They perform tasks such as taking quantities off plans, detailing, estimating, production scheduling and problem solving, all using engineering and computer software systems.
