Posted on: March 18, 2023

Job Description:

Who you are: You enjoy working outdoors and value communicating and collaborating with your coworkers. You have extensive mechanical knowledge and prior experience as a millwright in an industrial setting. You are safety minded, motivated and comfortable working on your own or in a small team. Most of all you are dependable, have integrity, like being productive and look for ways to be more efficient.

Where you'll work: You will work at Green Diamond's Chip Facility dock located on Humboldt Bay in Fairhaven, California. This is a production facility which stores and ships wood chips. The wood chips are delivered from the area sawmills and loaded onto vessels bound for both domestic and overseas markets. Life by the bay is hard on exposed equipment. You will be part of a small team of employees who keep the mechanical operation of the facility in excellent working order.

What the job is: Because of our location on the waterfront, there are many environmental rules we follow so maintaining the facility is critical. This job will be primarily focused on repair and maintenance of the structures and rolling stock. This includes welding, torching, grinding, greasing, carpentry, troubleshooting, and other needs as directed. You will be part of the team when loading vessels and barges by being onsite handling maintenance needs and responding to any significant mechanical failures that may occur. This position plays an essential role in keeping the Chip Facility in good working order and running efficiently. Due to the overseas aspects of our markets, you must have the ability to obtain a Transportation Worker Identification Card (TWIC) to be able to work on the dock at the facility when a vessel is in port.

Work Schedule: For the majority of the year the average work schedule is 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. When a vessel arrives at the dock, schedules change and every individual is expected to be available. You may be asked to work the day shift or night shift while loading for up to 5 days straight during these periods.

Compensation Details: The hourly rate for this job is $31.65. The wage is just one part of Green Diamond's total compensation package. Other rewards include eligibility to receive an annual company financial bonus and a bonus based on your own performance.
In addition, Green Diamond offers a generous benefit package to include medical/vision and dental, life and disability insurance, 401(k) plan with match and profit sharing. Paid time off includes 9 designated and up to 2 personal holidays, 10 vacation days, 10 sick days, 30 days parental leave, 3 days bereavement, an extra 2 days bereavement unpaid, jury duty, 1 volunteer day, and 5 days family care.

We're a 5th generation, family-owned company that is guided by our values of environmental stewardship and supporting our local communities. The history of our Company spans over 130 years.
