About DJJ:

DJJ, a division of Nucor Corporation, is seeking applicants for our Sales/Trader positions. DJJ is a world leader in scrap metal recycling, trading, and transportation.

We’re recognized as a good community citizen who is trustworthy, financially strong, and environmentally proactive.

The Opportunity:

As a Trader, you'll sit at the center of Nucor's raw material supply chain — buying scrap and alloys from suppliers worldwide, then brokering those raw materials to customers. You'll build a real book of business, trade commodities, and develop lasting supplier and customer relationships. After an 8–10 week paid training program, you'll be placed in one of our district offices and a brokerage based on our business needs and your strengths. You MUST be willing to relocate anywhere we do business post training (See states/locations above)

This posting recruits across all four of DJJ's brokerages:

• Ferrous
