Job Description Job Description As an Inside Sales Support Representative, you will manage and support an assigned book of existing customer and supplier accounts for a vertically integrated metal recycler. This is an inside, office-based account-support role — you will be the day-to-day point of contact for your accounts, coordinating activity across operations, dispatch, purchasing, and finance, and partnering with the outside sales team to keep accounts running smoothly.
This role does not carry a sales quota and is not responsible for new business development or prospecting; it is a behind-the-scenes, detail-driven role focused on service, accuracy, and account retention. Your accounts span Southern Ontario, while the role itself is based on-site in Hamilton, Ontario, five days per week.

This is an expansion role on a growing team, reporting to the Manager of the Account Management team. The base salary is $60,000 – $63,000 CAD, plus a discretionary annual bonus. Compensation & Benefits $60,000 – $63,000 CAD base salary, plus a discretionary annual bonus tied to personal and company performance Bonus only — this role does not carry commission Estimated total compensation: base salary plus the discretionary annual bonus on top Health benefits (partially company-funded) RRSP matching program Laptop and cell phone provided Business expense account Employee recognition, gifts, and rewards program Further education reimbursement Company social events 15 vacation days, 2 sick days, and 2 personal days, plus the company Christmas shutdown Formal performance reviews annually Company fleet vehicles available for occasional customer visits (no personal vehicle allowance) Strong career path — this role touches nearly every department and has launched many careers into management and leadership The Company & Culture Our client is a family-owned metal recycler with approximately 90 years in business, and is the largest privately held company in its industry.

The company is in a scale-up stage, growing 25–50% per year. It employs roughly 3,000 people across North America, with about 500 at the Hamilton, Ontario operation where this role is based. The company is fully vertically integrated across its ferrous, non-ferrous, retail, and transportation divisions, with an in-house transportation fleet significantly larger than its competitors — allowing it to control the full materials lifecycle from collection through processing and shipping.

The culture is built on four pillars: Passion & Excellence, Teamwork & Collaboration, Agility & Innovation, and Community Engagement. Leadership is data-driven and hands-on. Employees describe strong room for growth, a stable but still-developing organization, and clear industry leadership.
This is a fast-moving environment where priorities can shift quickly, and candidates should be comfortable working that way. Office Location & Sales Territory Work location: Hamilton, Ontario Work arrangement: Office-based, 5 days per week. No work-from-home — this is an on-site support function based with the manager and team Account coverage: Accounts span Southern Ontario, including London, Toronto, and broadly the region west of Montreal (Northern Ontario excluded).

The role itself is office-based in Hamilton and is not a travel territory On-site customer visits: Occasional only (for example,



year-end customer clean-ups or taking site photos). Company fleet vehicles are provided for these visits Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM Overnight travel: None Experience, Background & Education Requirements 1–3 years of experience in account management, customer service, logistics coordination, or industrial operations Exceptional attention to detail — the single most important requirement for this role; errors in this business can be costly Strong organizational and multitasking ability, with the capacity to manage multiple accounts at once Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with a genuine customer-service orientation Comfortable working five days per week on-site at the Hamilton office Post-secondary education or equivalent professional experience (a degree is not required) Industry exposure to metal recycling, waste management, transportation, or manufacturing is an asset but not required — the company will train the right candidate on the industry Backgrounds in high-volume, customer-facing service environments (for example, hospitality/hotel or equipment rental) are relevant and have succeeded in this role Please note: this is an inside, office-based account-support role with no sales quota and no new business development.
