About the role

Radius Recycling is seeking an Outside Buyer to generate purchases of Ferrous and Non-Ferrous scrap metals within a defined geographic area. You will visit facilities, build supplier relationships, negotiate prices, and manage contracts to maximize volume and margin. The role requires external sales experience and knowledge of scrap grades, with regional travel as needed. Responsibilities include developing supplier base, bidding, pricing, and educating customers on scrap quality.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
