Inventory & Accountability Maintain accurate inventory by grade and location, including twice-weekly reconciliations. Monitor purchasing volumes, processing output, inventory variances, and material movement. Provide reliable inventory reporting to support trading and sales decisions. Team Leadership & Development Lead, coach, and hold yard managers and supervisors accountable for performance. Oversee staffing, scheduling, employee evaluations, and performance improvement. Develop consistent training programs for material identification, grading, processing, equipment operation, and customer service. Build a culture of teamwork, ownership, safety, and continuous improvement.

Oversee equipment inspections, preventive maintenance coordination, safety meetings, and recordkeeping. Maintain clean, organized, secure, and efficient yards and warehouses. Establish consistent customer service standards, including accurate grading, fair pricing, and efficient scale operations.

Strong working knowledge of non-ferrous metals, material identification, grading, and processing , including baling, wire chopping, shearing, and separation. Proven experience managing inventory accuracy, reconciliation, and operational performance. Knowledge of applicable safety, environmental, and scrap recycling regulations. Experience training employees, developing supervisors, and managing performance. Comfortable using inventory management, equipment inspection, and safety reporting systems. Strong communication, problem-solving, organizational, and leadership skills. Willingness to travel between Georgia locations regularly and work outdoors alongside yard crews and heavy equipment.
