Warehouse Operations Intern at The Cary Company – Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Warehouse Operations Intern

Pittsburgh, PA | Weekdays | Hands-On Operations Role

Are you looking for a hands-on role where you can learn how a warehouse really runs, work alongside experienced leaders, and position yourself for a full-time leadership role down the road?

The Cary Company is hiring a Warehouse Operations Intern for our Pittsburgh facility. This role is ideal for a student, recent graduate, or early‑career professional who wants real-world experience and not a desk internship with the opportunity to grow in to a leader at this location.

This position is open year-round. While it’s a great fit for summer candidates, we’re flexible on timing for the right person.

• Monday – Friday
• 6:00 AM – 2:30 PM
• We can work with class schedules within these hours
• No weekends

This is a working role, not a shadowing role.

• Hands-on warehouse work handling plastic containers, drums, and recycling materials
• Palletizing, staging, loading, and organizing product
• Using hand tools and power tools (drills, saws, etc.)
• Learning warehouse safety standards and operational best practices
• Working directly with supervisors to understand workflow, efficiency, and leadership on the floor
• Communicating clearly and working as part of a team that relies on each other

• Students currently enrolled in college, trade school, or technical programs
• Recent graduates looking to start their career in operations or logistics
• Individuals interested in growing into a leadership role over time
• People who take pride in showing up, working hard, and learning

• Strong work ethic and reliability
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and be on your feet for extended periods
• Willingness to learn and take direction
• Positive, team‑first attitude
• Forklift experience is a plus, but not required (we’ll train)

• Clear growth path – we actively develop leaders from within
• Hands-on experience – learn how operations actually work
• Weekdays only – consistent schedule, weekends off
• Profit sharing – share in the company’s success
• Strong culture – supportive, team‑oriented environment
• Long-term opportunity – potential full-time role after graduation

The Cary Company has been around since 1895 and has grown to 240+ employees across multiple U.S. locations. We distribute rigid packaging products and industrial filtration solutions nationwide.

We believe the best leaders understand the business from the ground up — and that’s exactly what this role is designed to do.
