What You'll Do:
Safety is the most important part of all jobs within Nucor; therefore, candidates must be able to demonstrate the ability to initiate, lead, and uphold safety policies, practices, procedures, and housekeeping standards at all times.

Interns learn how customer and supplier relationships are developed, how market conditions influence business decisions, and how commercial teammates support profitable business growth across the recycling group.
Work alongside commercial teammates and leaders to build foundational knowledge of scrap buying, material grades, market trends, pricing, customer service, logistics, and daily facility operations.

Entry Level Sales Business Development Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level sales business development job?
Employers hiring at this level look for candidates who can show hustle, coachability, and some evidence of outreach or pipeline work, even from internships, campus clubs, or side projects. Highlighting any cold-calling, lead generation, or CRM experience gives you an edge. A cover letter that speaks to specific targets or industries you want to develop tends to stand out over a generic application.
Which companies hire entry level sales business developments?
Companies hiring entry level sales business developments right now include SelectQuote, Avanade, and ZoomInfo, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Hiring at this level covers startups building their first sales teams, mid-size firms expanding into new markets, and large enterprises running structured new grad development programs.
Are there remote entry level sales business development jobs?
Yes, though on-site and hybrid roles remain common at this stage because many employers prefer early coaching to happen in person. About 50% of entry level sales business development openings are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, so remote options exist but filtering for them will narrow your pool. Applying to a mix of formats gives you the best shot at landing a first role quickly.
Are these new grad sales business development jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior sales business development roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or campus involvement toward that requirement, or explicitly accepts a strong portfolio or demonstrated drive in place of a long work history. If a listing says 'entry level' or 'no prior experience required,' it is aimed squarely at new grads.
Which industries hire the most entry level sales business developments?
Entry Level sales business development roles concentrate in Insurance, Technology & Software, and Consulting & Professional Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Those sectors drive the most junior hiring because they rely on consistent pipeline growth, new client acquisition, and scalable outreach, making entry level contributors a core part of their go-to-market teams.
