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 - strictly based on business need, no preferences. (See states/locations above)

  • Manage contracts, payment terms, and supply chain logistics with customers
  • Collaborate daily with logistics teams, Nucor mill contacts, and open-market accounts
  • Travel to supplier and customer sites (30-60% of time)
  • Relocate to any district office at the close of training - and again as you advance
