Inside Sales Representative – Metal Recycling

Role Overview

As an Inside Sales Representative, you will support the purchase of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal and the sale of recycling, bin placement, and transportation services to an established book of industrial accounts.

You will deal with owners, plant and operations managers, and purchasing managers at manufacturers, fabricators, and other industrial companies that generate scrap metal.
