Pulp Mill Shift Supervisor

Lewiston
803 Mill Rd
Lewiston, , USA

Lewiston is Clearwater Paper’s original manufacturing facility and home to nearly 700 dedicated team members who power our site. Together, we make paperboard used in products across the United States, including food packaging, plates, cups and more. Home to the first mill that produced poster board from wood waste, the site currently operates two paper machines, two extruders, two power boilers and two recovery boilers.

Located where the Snake and Clearwater rivers meet on the Idaho‑Washington border, Lewiston offers an active outdoor lifestyle with easy access to fishing, boating, hiking and camping. The region’s milder climate means more rain than snow in the winter and long, sunny days in the summer.

Living here means you’ll be close to Lewis‑Clark State College, University of Idaho, Washington State University, and Walla Walla Community College, as well as strong local K–12 school districts.
