The posting

We are looking for an experienced Senior Non-Ferrous Buyer with a strong background in the scrap metal recycling industry. This is a hands-on buying role for someone who knows non-ferrous scrap, understands how to grade and value material, and has experience buying from suppliers such as industrial accounts, contractors, peddlers, auto wreckers, and other recycling yards. The Senior Non-Ferrous Buyer will be responsible for sourcing and purchasing non-ferrous scrap, negotiating prices, evaluating material quality, managing supplier relationships, and making buying decisions that protect company margins. The ideal candidate has spent significant time in the scrap industry and understands that successful buying requires more than knowing commodity prices. You should be comfortable looking at material, determining its grade and recovery, negotiating with suppliers, understanding freight and logistics costs, and adjusting buying prices based on current market conditions. This position can be worked either remotely or at our US HQ in Camden, NJ. The pay for this position is $140 – 160k/yr. Key Responsibilities

Purchase non-ferrous scrap metals including copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and specialty alloys. Source material from industrial accounts, contractors, demolition companies, peddlers, auto wreckers, recycling yards, and other suppliers. Evaluate and grade non-ferrous scrap to determine material quality, specifications, recovery, and appropriate buying price. Negotiate purchase prices, payment terms, freight, and delivery schedules with suppliers. Monitor commodity markets and adjust buying prices and strategies based on market conditions, demand, mill consumption, and market opportunities. Develop new supplier relationships and identify opportunities to increase the volume and quality of incoming material. Maintain strong relationships with existing suppliers to ensure a reliable and consistent flow of material. Conduct supplier visits to evaluate material, strengthen relationships, and identify additional purchasing opportunities. Track market pricing for copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and other non-ferrous commodities. Evaluate the impact of freight and logistics costs when establishing purchase prices. Monitor purchased material, pricing, and market conditions to protect company margins. Coordinate with operations and logistics to support efficient material flow and shipment planning. Identify potential risks related to material quality, pricing, supply, transportation, and changing market conditions. Maintain accurate purchasing records and documentation. Ensure purchasing activities are conducted ethically and in accordance with company policies and applicable regulations.

Qualifications The most important qualification is hands-on non-ferrous scrap buying experience.

5+ years of experience purchasing non-ferrous scrap metals in the recycling, scrap, metals, commodities, or related industry. Strong working knowledge of non-ferrous scrap grades, specifications, and recovery yields. Demonstrated experience buying and pricing materials such as:

Copper Aluminum Brass Stainless steel Specialty alloys

Experience buying material on a wholesale/commercial basis and managing significant supplier relationships. Experience negotiating scrap prices directly with suppliers. Ability to evaluate material quality and determine appropriate buying prices. Understanding of commodity pricing and the ability to adjust purchasing decisions as market conditions change. Understanding of freight, transportation, and logistics costs as they relate to scrap purchasing. Established relationships within the scrap metal, recycling, industrial, demolition, or related supplier community are highly valued. Strong supplier development and relationship-building skills. Strong commercial judgment with an understanding of cost, margin, volume, and material flow. Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where pricing and market conditions can change quickly. Strong communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills. High level of integrity and commitment to ethical business practices. Spanish/English bilingual skills are a plus.

  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
