Ready to Lead in Metal Recycling?
Alter Trading's hands-on Management Trainee Program is your fast track to running a department, a facility or in a sales function at one of the nation’s leading scrap metal recyclers. Over the course of 8-12 months, you’ll rotate not only through operations, logistics, sales, safety, and leadership functions, but also across multiple facilities - gaining the broad perspective, skills, and real-world exposure needed to run a site or lead a functional team. This program is designed as a multi-location rotation across Alter's locations in multiple cities and states. The city where this posting is listed may not be the location where the training will occur.

- Rotate through Operations, Commercial Sales, Inventory, Safety, and Equipment Maintenance.
- Support real production, scheduling, and transportation efforts.
- Shadow and learn from seasoned yard managers.
- Gain exposure to customer relationships, negotiations, and pricing.
- Learn to manage people, processes, and profits.
- Prepare to lead your own team or facility upon program completion.
- Rotate through various Alter locations to gain further exposure.
What We're Looking For
- Associate's, Bachelor's degree (preferred majors: Business, Supply Chain, Engineering, Industrial Tech) or 5+ years of relevant experience.
- Strong communication, leadership potential, and business math skills.
- Willingness to relocate and work hands-on in a heavy industrial environment.
- Problem-solvers who are curious, adaptable, and ready to lead.
- Ability to relocate required. Assistance provided.
- Competitive pay and benefits (medical, dental, vision, life insurance, PTO).
- 401(k) with company match.
- Relocation and temporary housing assistance, if eligible.
- Ongoing coaching, mentoring, and advancement opportunities.
