What You'll Do:

Run the Board. Move the Fleet. Build a Real Career.

If you’re the kind of person who thrives under pressure, can juggle ten things at once, and knows how to keep people and equipment moving efficiently — we’ve got a seat for you. As a Dispatcher at Trademark Metals Recycling, you’re the nerve center of the operation. You’ll coordinate drivers, manage routes, handle customer service calls, process billing, and make real-time decisions that keep the whole yard running on schedule.

Daily Job Duties – What You'll Do

• Follow all company and OSHA safety procedures — safety is always the first priority

• Dispatch and support drivers throughout the day — route them efficiently to deliver timely, reliable service to customers

• Monitor customer scale alert systems and respond to issues as they arise

• Assess loaded boxes and trailers on the yard from the previous day and schedule them for unloading

• Review and process daily paperwork from the prior day — check contractor times and compare against billing

• Review driver performance daily and flag issues or trends to management

• Assist drivers with problems in the field — make the call on when to escalate to management

• Perform general office and billing duties as assigned by the Manager

When something goes sideways, people look to you to fix it. Dispatch systems experience and billing knowledge are a strong plus — we’ll train the right person on the rest.

• Strong problem-solving instincts — you assess situations quickly and make good calls under pressure

• Professional, customer service-focused attitude with the ability to handle difficult situations calmly

• Computer proficient — Microsoft Outlook, Excel, Word, and ability to learn in-house systems

• Willingness to learn the scrap metal recycling industry — knowledge is a plus, drive to learn is a must

• Bilingual in English and Spanish strongly preferred

• Candidates within 50 miles of location preferred

• Must pass a hair drug test and background check

Preferred:

• Bilingual preferred

• Knowledge of the metals recycling industry preferred but not required — we’ll get you up to speed
