• Raw Material Sourcing: Procure monthly tonnage targets of LDPE film scrap, HDPE regrind/grindings, LLDPE, and industrial polyolefin feedstocks (drum grindings, pipe grindings, rotomoulding scrap).
• On-Ground Market Scouting: Regularly visit local and regional scrap markets (mandis), industrial clusters, and sorting centers across Delhi NCR and North India to identify new scrap traders and aggregators.
• Commercial Negotiation: Negotiate competitive per-kg purchase rates, weighbridge allowances, freight terms, and payment cycles to preserve operational gross margins.
• Pre-Dispatch Material Inspection: Physically inspect scrap lots at trader yards to evaluate contamination, foreign matter, moisture content, and polymer grade purity prior to loading.
• Supply Continuity & Plant Coordination: Synchronize dispatch schedules with factory production plans and logistics coordinators to prevent raw material stockouts.

Desired Candidate Profile

• Experience: 4 to 10 years of on-ground procurement experience strictly within plastic scrap, regrinds, or recycled polymers.

• Existing Network: Established direct touchpoints with scrap aggregators, sorting centers, and scrap traders across North/Western India.
• Mobility: Ready for extensive ground-level mandi visits and travel for supplier audits/development.
• Commercial Acumen: Sharp negotiation ability with informal waste traders as well as structured corporate suppliers.
• Education: Graduate (B.Com / B.Sc / B.Tech / BBA) or equivalent; relevant scrap sourcing track record takes precedence.
