Location: Ace Hardware – Waycross

Employment Type: Part-Time

Schedule: Mix of weekdays and Saturdays

We're looking for a dependable, hardworking Lumber Yard Associate to join our team at the Waycross store. This role is the backbone of our lumber and building materials department — helping customers load and find materials, keeping the yard organized, and supporting our contractors and DIY customers alike.

• Load and unload lumber, building materials, and related products for customers and delivery trucks

• Operate a forklift to move and stack materials safely and efficiently

• Keep the lumber yard clean, organized, and well-stocked

• Assist customers with locating products and answering basic questions about lumber and building materials

• Receive and check in incoming shipments against purchase orders

• Perform physical tasks including lifting, carrying, and moving heavy materials (up to 50+ lbs regularly)

• Follow all safety protocols for yard operations and equipment use

• Support other departments as needed during busy periods

• Forklift experience preferred — willingness to complete forklift certification if not already certified

• Comfortable working outdoors in varying weather conditions

• Strong work ethic and reliability

• Ability to lift and move heavy materials on a regular basis

• Good communication skills and a customer-first attitude

• Prior experience in a lumber yard, hardware store, or building materials setting is a plus, but not required

This is a part-time position requiring availability on a mix of weekdays and Saturdays. Specific shift schedule to be discussed during the interview.

Join a growing, locally-focused hardware and building materials business where hard work is noticed and there's real room to grow.
