Yard Specialist

If you enjoy working with a team, outdoors, and with your hands, then this is a great opportunity to get your foot in the door of a booming industry! We’re looking for people who don’t shy away from hard work and who are dedicated to what they do. There’s no better time than now to join this industry and there’s no better company than Carter Lumber! 

Our Story 
Carter Lumber was founded in 1932 by W.E. Carter. For 90 years, we have strengthened our company by staying true to our values, which include honesty, hard work, and putting people first. What started as a single lumberyard in Akron, Ohio, is represented today by seven brands servicing professional builders and homeowners across thirteen states with more than 160 locations. Despite our growth, we are still a family-owned company. Our core values and our people-first culture remain the same. 

Description: 
You will assist contractors and do-it-yourselfers with the selection and loading of their order, pull and stage materials to be picked up and/or delivered, help maintain the inventory in the Yard by conducting cycle counts, and keep the Yard organized and clean. Equipment used includes a forklift, various saws, and nail guns, if you haven't operated these previously, we will train you and help you attain certification.
