Carr Lane Manufacturing is looking for a Warehouse Specialist for a short-term special project at our St. Louis facility.

This role is expected to last through December 31, 2026, with a completion bonus available for those who see the project through. Although this position is designed as a contract role, strong performers may have the opportunity to be considered for full‑time employment at CLM.
