Millar Western’s Spruceland Millworks division, a lumber remanufacturing facility located just outside Edmonton in Acheson, AB, is hiring for positions on our production crews. Successful applicants will work in a production-line setting, as part of a team completing tasks including lumber stacking, feeding, grading, bundling, cleanup and operation of various lumber manufacturing machines. Work shifts are Monday through Friday and rotate every two weeks from 6:00 AM – 3:30 PM to 4:00 PM – 1:30 AM. Spruceland occasionally works Saturdays, and the schedule is posted at the beginning of the year. We are closed during the week of Christmas each year.
