Yard Specialist

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 remain a family‑owned company.

Our core values and our people‑first culture remain the same.

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 and if you haven't operated one previously, we will train you and help you attain certification.
