Kelowna, BC (Option for relocation to Kelowna)
Building Materials | Lumber Commodities | Trading & Margin Growth

<\/strong>
Our client, a well-established and highly respected distributor within the building materials sector, is looking to add a commercially driven Lumber Commodity Trader to their Kelowna, BC operation.<\/p>\n

Supporting the Okanagan and broader Interior BC market, this role plays a key part in managing lumber purchasing, pricing strategy, margin performance, and customer growth across a dynamic and often volatile commodity environment.<\/p>\n

This is not an order-taking sales role \u2014 it’s about understanding the lumber cycle, making smart buy\/sell decisions, protecting margin, and building strong, long-term relationships with regional yards and contractors.<\/p>\n

What You’ll Own<\/strong>
You’ll take responsibility for buying and selling dimensional lumber and panel products, managing spread and gross margin performance while monitoring market fluctuations and regional demand.<\/p>\n

You’ll build and maintain strong relationships with independent lumber yards, contractors, and key accounts across Kelowna, Kamloops, Vernon, Penticton, and surrounding Interior markets.<\/p>\n

The role includes inventory management, forecasting, risk mitigation tied to price volatility, and working closely with suppliers and mills to ensure competitive positioning.<\/p>\n

You’ll also contribute market intelligence and pricing insight to leadership, helping drive strategic growth across BC.<\/p>\n

What They’re Really Looking For<\/strong>
A commercially sharp individual with experience in lumber trading, commodity sales, or building materials distribution. Someone who understands pricing cycles, supply\/demand dynamics, and how to protect margin in a fluctuating market.<\/p>\n

You’re competitive, analytical, and confident in negotiation. You build strong relationships but are equally comfortable making decisive commercial calls.
Most importantly, they’re looking for someone who thrives in a performance-driven environment and wants to grow their long-term career within a stable, well-structured organization.<\/p>\n

This role offers strong internal support, a clear onboarding structure, and the opportunity to build a highly profitable trading desk within the BC Interior market.<\/p>\n

DMC Recruitment is proud to partner on this search.
If this opportunity aligns with your experience \u2014 or someone strong in your network \u2014 I would welcome a confidential conversation.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","job_category":[658,932],"job_location":[777],"class_list":["post-15277","job","type-job","status-publish","hentry","job_category-building-materials","job_category-commodity-trading-raw-materials-trading","job_location-kelowna"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmcrecruitment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job\/15277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmcrecruitment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmcrecruitment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/job"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmcrecruitment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"job_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmcrecruitment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_category?post=15277"},{"taxonomy":"job_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmcrecruitment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_location?post=15277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
