Key Responsibilities:
  • Identify, pursue, and secure new accounts through proactive field sales and outbound outreach

  • Conduct onsite scrap metal grading, price quoting, and documentation
  • Travel to customer locations daily using your personal vehicle (vehicle allowance provided)
  • Follow up on sales leads and maintain a strong pipeline of opportunities
