About The Position

Performs all duties required to manufacture roof and floor trusses on the shop floor. Founded in Charlotte in 1977, The Building Center, Inc. has grown from a single location into one of the largest privately held lumber and building materials dealers in the United States. Nearly five decades later, they remain family-owned and family-driven, guided by the same commitment they started with: to be their customers’ most valued building partner. With more than 200 trucks on the road and a strong network of divisions strategically located throughout the Carolinas, they deliver consistent, reliable service to builders across the region. Their divisions include South Carolina: Easley, Columbia, Holly Hill, Georgetown and North Carolina: Rock Hill, Boone, Monroe, Ocean Isle Beach, Pineville, Gastonia, Greensboro, and Mebane. Their regional strength allows them to purchase and sell branded and commodity products at competitive prices, while tailoring their inventories to match local building practices, architectural trends, and the unique needs of each market. Beyond supplying materials, they provide a full range of manufacturing support—including truss plants in North and Central North Carolina, millwork and door shops in the Triad and Charlotte metros, and custom fabrication in Pineville, where they also craft specialty products like reclaimed lumber flooring, cabinetry, mantles, and siding. What makes The Building Center truly different is their culture and their people. They believe construction is, at its heart, a people business—built on relationships, trust, and hard work. Their values of service, integrity, and dependability guide them in every interaction, whether they’re serving customers, supporting their communities, or developing their employees. When you join The Building Center, you become part of a company with deep roots, a bold vision, and a culture where you can grow, contribute, and make a real impact. Together, they’re not just delivering materials—they’re helping to build communities, futures, and lasting success.
