Commodities Buyer (Recycled Plastics)

Commodities Buyer (Recycled Plastics)

Midlands and North

£-Attractive salary plus bonus and company car/car allowance

Our client trades in a full range of recyclable materials including plastics, paper and cardboard, glass and metals. A vacancy currently exists for a Commodities Buyer to be employed full-time within their successful Trading Team. The role will cover a significant part of the UK, focused on expanding the company s coverage in the Midlands and North. It is a home-based role but will involve extensive travel to visit current and prospective clients, plus some travel to the company s office in the Northwest.

Applications are invited from candidates with existing sales experience in the waste & recycling industry, ideally to include previous commodity buying experience although experience in packaging or other relevant sales roles will also be considered. In the recycling trading sector, buying still requires a sales approach, and the role would suit people with experience in major account relationship roles. You must be comfortable generating new clients, as well as maintaining existing relationships.

This is a role that demands travel to get in front of suppliers, plus a willingness to roll up your sleeves and assess used recyclable material to review quality and suitability for sale.
