Why Join IFG Southern?
PEOPLE: The IFG Southern facility is one of seven sawmills owned and operated by Idaho Forest Group (IFG), one of North America’s top eight lumber manufacturers. A family-owned company headquartered in northern Idaho, IFG has built a strong reputation for excellence over its 44-year history because of the people who work here. Expanding into the South reflects IFG’s recognition of the teams we can build in the South and the region’s competitive position in the marketplace.
REGION: Southern Yellow Pine (SYP) continues to dominate the U.S. lumber market due to its abundant supply, strength, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. SYP forests rank among the most productive in the world, benefiting from shorter growth cycles and sustainable management practices. With a strong supply chain, extensive reforestation efforts, and rising global demand, SYP remains the backbone of the American softwood lumber industry, leading in production, versatility, and market preference.
INNOVATION: IFG embraces innovation, prioritizing Analytics, Academics, and Artificial Intelligence (A3) to drive efficiency and excellence—values reflected in both its people and operations.
TOTAL REWARDS: We prioritize our employees, offering a competitive total rewards compensation package, including health benefits, 401(k), PTO, incentive plans, wellness programs, and scholarships. IFG supports a strong work-life balance and fosters a culture that encourages a healthy lifestyle.
