The trainee sawyer will, with development and training, be able to operate our log sawing and resawing equipment and contribute to the effective operations of the mill. Previous experience of sawmilling equipment is not essential, but other relevant transferrable skills, such as working with machinery, and flexibility in a busy working environment and with a small, focused team, will be necessary. Full training will be given for the suitable applicant.
