Description

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Yard Architect to join our Team! A Yard Architect will be responsible for the execution of projects within our lumber yards. This can range from a full yard layout and revamp to moving product racking to make the space more efficient, safer, and workable. The Yard Architect will work closely with a Team and travel to different Drexel locations (Wisconsin) based on current projects. The Team must also be willing to be all-in and help our Operations and Delivery Teams as needed, but the primary focus will be the execution of yard setup and yard projects.

Responsibilities

• Master of the Map: You’ll design and implement epic yard layouts that squeeze every inch of value out of our square footage while cutting down forklift "windshield time."
• The Bottleneck Buster: You’ll audit our current racking and storage like a pro, identifying "clogged" areas and reimagining them to keep our operations flowing like a well-oiled machine.
• From Dirt to Done: You’ll blueprint and execute "Ground-Up" yard setups making sure every bin and rack is perfectly placed for Day 1 success.
• The Heavy Lifter: You’ll own the physical transitions—tearing down, moving, and installing heavy-duty cantilever and pallet racking. It’s like LEGOs, but much bigger and way heavier.
• The Team Translator: You’ll huddle with our Operations and Delivery crews to turn their daily frustrations into architectural wins that make their jobs easier, faster, and safer.
• The "Pull the Rope" Pro: When the pressure is on, you’re in the trenches. Whether it’s helping with a massive delivery or crushing a yard task, you do whatever it takes to help the team win.

Skills & Qualifications

• Certified Pilot (Almost): You’re already a pro on a forklift and reach truck, or you’re ready to learn. You’re also handy with power tools and aren't afraid to use them.
• Weather-Proof: You’ve got the stamina to be on your feet all day. Rain, shine, or "Wisconsin Cold"—you’re out there making it happen and moving the heavy stuff.
• The Safety Hawk: You have a "Safety First" brain. You know (or will learn) the OSHA rules of the road to keep our yards as safe as they are efficient.
• Road Warrior Spirit: You love a change of scenery and are ready to head out to different Drexel locations to leave your mark on every yard you touch.

Tell us why you would be great for this job anyway! You’re a great fit if you love the satisfaction of a 'Before & After' photo, you aren't afraid to get your hands dirty, and you thrive in an environment where no two days look the same.
