~*Accounts Payable Clerk*~

Description

The Accounts Payable Clerk pays customers for their scrap as they leave the facility, enters and pays company invoices, and pays industrial scrap accounts in a timely fashion. They use their strong attention to detail and clerical skills to enter invoices correctly, prevent any duplicate or late payments, and to inquire about any billing inaccuracies. The AP Clerk answers customer questions both in-person and over the phone—therefore they must possess excellent communication skills and a working knowledge of scrap metal/scrap metal pricing. Additionally, to help enhance their knowledge of scrap metal and to ensure proper coverage during break times, they cross-train with the Scale Receiving Clerk.
