 About Buckeye Pacific
At Buckeye Pacific, commodity trading is what we do best. With more than 40 traders based in our Tualatin, Oregon office, we specialize in lumber, crane mats, and millwork—products that keep the building materials industry moving. By analyzing markets, managing risk, and moving large volumes efficiently, we create opportunities for our suppliers and deliver solutions for our customers.

The Role of a Trader
Our traders are more than market movers—they are also experts at building and managing relationships. Success on our floor comes from pairing product and market knowledge with the ability to cultivate strong partnerships. Every trade relies on trust, communication, and long-term connections with suppliers and customers across North America.

The Trader Trainee Program
Our training program is designed to build the next generation of traders. Trainees spend their first nine months on our logistics team, gaining hands-on experience in how products move from mill to market and how value is created at every step. Alongside this experience, you’ll complete a structured training curriculum—learning the markets, products, and strategies that fuel our business. Once training is complete, you’ll begin working with a trading department aligned with your strengths and ready to begin building your own book of business.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Negotiate freight rates and schedule shipments in compliance with transportation laws and regulations.

  • Manage relationships with carriers, brokers, and trading partners to ensure reliable product movement.

  • Build strong relationships across the organization by working closely with traders and support teams.

  • Investigate and resolve shipping issues, claims, or delivery concerns.

  • Provide freight quotes and dispatch updates to traders and business partners.

  • Research potential new accounts and market opportunities.

  • Complete assignments,  projects, and all training sessions within the Trader Training Program.


Education and/or Experience:
Bachelor's Degree from four-year college or university; or Associate’s degree from two-year college plus one year related sales experience and/or training; or equivalent combination of education and experience.
Qualifications:
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ambitious, driven, and proactive.
  • Strong attention to detail and exceptional accuracy in a fast-paced environment. 
  • Ability to multitask, prioritize, and solve problems effectively.
  • Collaborative mindset with the ability to build strong relationships internally and externally.
  • Dependable and comfortable working in an office setting. 
  • Interest in sales and trading, with comfort in prospecting, outbound calls, and commission-based roles.


Buckeye offers a competitive base salary and benefits, including company-paid medical, dental, life and disability, as well as a 401(k) plan with an employer match and company stock ownership.
