Description

Description Description Let’s share a little about FBS and then we welcome you to apply: We are so proud to be 100% Employee Owned. We hire owners, not employees! This means that employees earn ownership in our company through their work and build their net worth based on the company’s change in value over time. Once eligible, you start your journey to ownership with an annual gift of stock averaging 17% of what you make each year! For our seventh consecutive year, we ranked in the Top 10 Best Places to Work in Idaho. Franklin Building Supply is a lumber and building material company that has been in business for more than 45 years. We have locations spread across Idaho and one in Nevada. We supply just about everything besides plumbing and electrical to build homes. Our focus is on serving professional home builders. Along with supplying materials, we install a wide range of products including framing, overhead doors, insulation, gutters, siding, and more. We also manufacture some products including trusses, cabinets, doors, and granite countertops. Our company is full of outstanding people who have been working for Franklin Building Supply for 10, 20, or 30 years. We’re working harder than anyone else in our market to get better every day, adding value for customers and improving the value of our company for our employee-owners. We are committed to working safer, smarter, and more efficiently than ever before. We are making significant investments in tools, equipment, training, and positions like this to help our team reach its potential. Along with competitive compensation, we offer competitive benefits that would be expected including medical/Rx, vision and dental insurance, 401(k), paid time off, holiday pay, disability & life insurance, etc. Responsibilities: Day in the Life: Our day kicks off at 6:30 a.m. with a lively morning huddle in the breakroom. During this time, we prioritize safety, discuss our daily plans, and keep everyone in the loop about company events. After our huddle, we engage in a quick stretching session to ensure we're physically ready for the day ahead. For Load Builders: Once we're limbered up, our load builders swing into action. They start by building trim packs, and skillfully pulling materials onto a cart to fulfill orders. These completed packs are then placed in designated spots for easy access. With all packs in order, we take the opportunity to stock up for the next day, tidy up the warehouse, and handle any necessary housekeeping tasks. For Driver Helpers: Driver Helpers also join our morning huddle and stretch session. Afterward, they pair up with their assigned driver for the day. Together, they check the delivery route, ensuring everything is in order. Once the trailer is fully loaded and ready to roll, it's time to hit the road. Out on the job site, Driver Helpers provide invaluable assistance. They help drivers navigate tricky maneuvers, back up when needed, and ensure safety at all times. When it comes to unloading materials, they do so efficiently and neatly at each stop. Additionally, they assist in finding job sites in unfamiliar areas and maintain a vigilant eye for any potential safety concerns. Requirements Essential: Forklift Certification: (Or the willingness to become certified within 30 days - we provide training) Physical Stamina: Able to lift and carry up to 100 lbs regularly throughout the day. This role involves a variety of physically demanding tasks, including climbing, lifting, balancing, walking, stooping, and handling materials. Product Knowledge: Willingness to learn and identify various grades of lumber and building materials. Weather Resilience: Ability to work in inclement weather conditions. Versatility: Willing to adapt to changing demands, self-motivated, and a strong team player. Adaptability: Adjust your approach to meet evolving demands on the fly. Customer Focus: Respectful, friendly, and approachable, representing the company positively to customers. Discipline: Punctual and committed to completing tasks by deadlines. Team Spirit: Willingness to contribute, be flexible, and go the extra mile to support the team. Initiative: Take the initiative to guide others on work processes and familiar with hand/power tools.
