In this active, fast-paced role, you’ll help finish and prepare custom wood products that our customers rely on for their building projects. From sanding to painting, from stacking to shipping—you’ll be an essential part of the process that brings our high-quality products to life.

Key Responsibilities:

As a Paint Shop Labourer, you’ll play an important role in the daily operations of our finishing shop, making sure products are expertly prepared and ready for our customers.

• Safely operate forklifts to move materials throughout the shop
• Sand, stain, and paint wood products used in construction
• Assist with flood coating and tailing operations
• Stack and organize lumber and finished products
• Move stock for processing and prepare customer orders for shipment
• Set up, clean, and maintain painting equipment and machines
• Keep the paint shop clean, organized, and running smoothly
• Support the team with other duties, as assigned by management

What You Bring:

At Muskoka Lumber, we value people who work hard, bring a positive attitude, and are eager to learn. If you’re reliable, safety-minded, and enjoy working with your hands, you’ll be a great fit here.

• Previous experience in a lumber yard, paint shop, or manufacturing setting is an asset
• Comfortable with sanding, staining, painting, and material handling
• Forklift experience preferred (training available if certification is needed)
• Strong attention to detail and a safety-first mindset
• Positive, can-do attitude with a willingness to pitch in wherever needed
• Physically capable of lifting and moving materials throughout the shift
• Must be able to pass a Respirator Fit Test
• Reliable, punctual, and a supportive team player

Why You’ll Love Working with Us:

We know the value of hard work—and we make sure it’s rewarded in ways that matter, both on the job and at home:

• No regularly scheduled weekend shifts – Enjoy your time off with a reliable Monday to Friday schedule
• Standard daytime hours – Predictable work hours that support a balanced lifestyle
• Enjoy work-life balance — Muskoka Lumber stores are closed on most (if not all) statutory holidays, giving you more time for family, rest, and personal pursuits.
• Holiday break – We close our stores over the Christmas season so you can spend time with family. Use your vacation days with no formal request needed.
• Staff discounts – Save on building materials and supplies with exclusive employee pricing
• Health & wellness benefits – Including comprehensive dental, vision, and life insurance coverage
• Supportive team culture – Friendly coworkers, hands-on training, and a leadership team that listens
• Room to grow – We love to promote from within and support you as your skills evolve
• Staff events & engagement activities – BBQs, team lunches, seasonal celebrations, giveaways and more to keep work fun and connected
• Regular wage reviews – We conduct routine pay assessments to ensure your compensation stays fair and competitive
