Day as a Green grader
Green Grader (Current Employee), Pilot Rock, OR – December 12, 2012
Pros: positive place to work, safety practices
The work day starts at 5 a.m. We make sure that the trimmers are working and that it's cleared of debris. I mark out the common lumber from the shop lumber. common lumber is used for windows, and doors and construction purposes. Th emanagement is goo. they try to help employees whenever possible. The most difficult times at work involve back ups and – more... breakdowns. The problems are solved quickly to keep the mill running. But it is all done in a safely manner. I enjoy the the bond between the co workers and the supervisors and the rest of management. – less
