Senior Ferrous Buyer & Trader

Full-time

WMC

We are looking for a Senior Ferrous Buyer & Trader to drive profitable ferrous scrap purchasing and trading for Turia Scrap & Metal Recycling by expanding and strengthening supply channels with distributors and industrial generators, and by optimizing pricing, recovery, transport, and logistics, in order to increase ferrous scrap volume and margin across all TSMR locations, including the DeRidder feed yard.

Responsibilities:

  • Manage the daily purchase and sale of ferrous materials (scrap, crushed metal, and broken metals), evaluating market prices, freight costs, yield, and expected profitability, using recovery data by supplier to continuously optimize purchasing decisions and margins.
  • Develop new supply channels through weekly on-site visits to distributors and industrial generators; assess the economic, logistical, and quality feasibility of implementing container programs and collection solutions for new accounts.
  • Strengthen relationships with current suppliers to increase volume per account and resolve quality issues. Negotiate prices, freight rates, and formalized commercial terms, ensuring that agreements comply with company policies and approval levels.
  • Monitor trends, competition, and ferrous metal prices to advise General Management. Optimize freight and logistics returns with Operations, driving growth projects such as the DeRidder yard and railcar decontamination.
  • Monitor and report monthly business KPIs (volume, margin, delivery cost, forecasts and supplier performance), ensuring strict compliance with business controls, internal policies and assigned levels of authority.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Finance, Supply Chain, Economics, or a related field.
  • More than 5 years of experience in purchasing ferrous scrap, metals, recycling, raw materials trading, or industrial procurement.
  • Proven track record in supplier development, negotiation, and profit/margin management.
  • Extensive knowledge of ferrous scrap grades (e.g., ISRI specifications: HMS, P&S, shredded feed, breakage), pricing, recovery/yield, and transportation economics.
  • Valid driver's license.
  • C1 level of English.

We offer:

  • Job stability in a plant operating year-round.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and development within the company.
