At Breedon Group, we're not just moving materials - we're reshaping the way the construction industry thinks about sustainability. As a leading vertically integrated construction materials group operating across Great Britain, Ireland, and the USA, we're driven by innovation, safety, and a deep commitment to doing things the right way.

Now, we're looking for a Circular Economy Material Trading Manager to help us unlock new opportunities in reclaimed materials and sustainable trading - someone who thrives on building relationships, spotting opportunities, and making things happen.

• Deliver budgeted volume of fully compliant inert material into our tip facilities
• Source ongoing and sustainable supplies of CDE materials that can be processed into aggregates at our recycling facilities. Balancing imports to meet sale requirements is critical and a deliverable of this role
• Build and manage strong, lasting relationships with suppliers and customers - you'll be the trusted link between the market and our operations and will manage key customer accounts. Work closely with our logistics, environmental, and operations teams to ensure compliance, efficiency, and sustainability at every stage.
• Take charge of regular RAP (Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement) reviews, monitoring stock levels and plant performance.
• Collaborate with our innovation team to identify and develop new recycled products that meet evolving customer needs.
• Keep your finger on the pulse of industry trends, sharing insights and opportunities that drive smarter, greener business decisions.

At Breedon, we believe great relationships build great business - so if you enjoy connecting with people, bringing energy to your work, and finding creative solutions, you'll fit right in.

We're looking for someone who combines technical know-how with commercial flair and a genuine passion for sustainability:

• Technically astute and solution-focused, especially when working with challenging materials
• Skilled in supplier management, data analysis, and process improvement
• A confident communicator and negotiator who enjoys working collaboratively
• Logistically savvy with a good understanding of asphalt surfacing and planing
• Organised, adaptable, and comfortable managing competing priorities
• Passionate about the circular economy and finding smarter, greener ways to work
• Energetic and self motivated to work in a nimble, reactive and fast passed environment
