A Sawyer operates sawmill equipment at a timber processing facility. You might cut timber to order or prepare products for mass sale. Sawyers use a range of sawing equipment depending on the product being made. You might make precise measurement and adjust sawing functions accordingly.

Sawyers should be safety focused and have strong technical abilities. It’s important that you can work to correct procedures at all times and make accurate cuts and measurements. Sawyers must be able to work as part of a team and communicate effectively in the workplace.
