Descrizione del lavoro

Scrap Yard Manager

Company Overview

M&M Recycling is a well-established scrap metal recycling company serving all of Georgia. We are committed to safety, integrity, productivity, accountability, and great customer service while supporting a more sustainable future through responsible recycling.

Our team works in a fast-paced, hands-on environment where strong leadership matters. We are looking for a Scrap Yard Manager for our Sunnyside/Griffin Location who can lead from the front, develop their teams, maintain high operating standards, and take ownership of the performance of their yard.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced Scrap Yard Manager to oversee the day-to-day operations of one of our recycling facilities in Sunnyside/Griffin, GA.

This is a true management position with responsibility for employees, production, safety, material flow, equipment utilization, customer service, organization, and overall yard performance.

At the same time, this is not a desk-management role. The Scrap Yard Manager is expected to be highly visible on the yard, work alongside the team when necessary, help solve operational problems in real time, and step in wherever needed to keep production moving.

The right candidate will understand scrap metal operations, know how to manage people effectively, and be comfortable balancing leadership responsibilities with hands-on work in an industrial outdoor environment.

What You'll Do

Manage and oversee all daily scrap yard operations, employees, workflow, and production activities
Lead, supervise, train, and hold employees accountable for performance, attendance, safety, productivity, and company expectations
Assign daily work responsibilities and ensure employees understand priorities and production goals
Maintain a strong presence throughout the yard and actively monitor work being performed
Work hands-on alongside employees when operational needs require it, including assisting with material movement, sorting, processing, loading, unloading, and equipment operation when qualified
Monitor inbound and outbound material flow to keep the yard organized, productive, and efficient
Ensure scrap materials are properly identified, graded, sorted, processed, stored, and prepared for shipment
Monitor inventory levels and communicate material, processing, and shipping needs to company leadership
Coordinate equipment use throughout the yard and ensure equipment is being operated safely and efficiently
Identify equipment problems, communicate maintenance needs promptly, and coordinate with the maintenance team to minimize downtime
Maintain yard organization, housekeeping, traffic flow, and proper material placement
Enforce all company safety policies, PPE requirements, environmental procedures, and operating standards
Conduct regular yard inspections and immediately address unsafe conditions or operating concerns
Participate in incident investigations and ensure corrective actions are completed
Monitor production, employee performance, equipment utilization, and operational efficiency
Identify bottlenecks or problems affecting productivity and take action to resolve them
Provide coaching, training, and corrective feedback to employees when expectations are not being met
Build a positive, accountable work environment where employees understand expectations and are treated professionally
Assist customers and suppliers when necessary and help resolve grading, service, or operational concerns
Communicate clearly with senior leadership regarding staffing, production, equipment, safety concerns, inventory, and overall yard performance
Help identify opportunities to improve productivity, organization, safety, material recovery, and profitability
Perform other operational and leadership responsibilities as needed to support the facility

What Success Looks Like

A successful Scrap Yard Manager:

Maintains a safe, clean, organized, and productive yard
Knows what is happening throughout the facility and addresses problems before they become larger issues
Sets clear expectations and consistently holds employees accountable
Develops employees rather than simply directing them
Keeps material moving efficiently through receiving, processing, storage, and shipment
Reduces unnecessary downtime and communicates equipment issues quickly
Maintains strong control of material quality and inventory
Meets production and operational goals consistently
Communicates effectively with employees, customers, maintenance personnel, and company leadership
Creates a professional work environment built around teamwork, productivity, accountability, and respect
Is willing to roll up their sleeves and work alongside the team when necessary

What We're Looking For

Prior experience in the scrap metal recycling industry required
Previous supervisory, foreman, yard manager, operations manager, or similar leadership experience
Strong understanding of scrap yard operations, material handling, and recycling processes
Working knowledge of ferrous and/or non-ferrous scrap metal identification and grading

Strong communication and leadership skills
Comfort working primarily outdoors in varying weather conditions
Willingness and physical ability to participate in hands-on yard work when necessary
Experience operating heavy equipment such as excavators, material handlers, forklifts, skid steers, or similar equipment is a plus
Strong commitment to safety and proper operating procedures
Dependable, proactive, and willing to take ownership of the facility rather than waiting to be told what needs to be done

Management Philosophy

At M&M Recycling, being a manager means more than assigning work.

Our managers are expected to lead from the front. You should know your operation, know your people, understand what needs to be accomplished each day, and be willing to step in when your team needs you.

The Scrap Yard Manager is responsible for creating accountability while also earning the respect of the team through consistency, communication, knowledge, and a willingness to work alongside employees.
