Life at Ryerson

Ryerson is a dynamic company with a long history of industry leadership. For nearly 170 years we have consistently responded to new competitive challenges and changing market conditions. We invest in our existing operations and acquire companies that add unique value to our organization. But our most important investment is in the development of our people whose commitment and creativity allows us to maintain our leadership position.

Many key transactional support functions such as procurement, credit and operations are decentralized among five regional field offices. This decentralized structure places critical responsibilities at the local level and improves our customer responsiveness. Operations of other functions such as accounting and finance are centralized at our corporate headquarters. As an employee, this structure offers you the flexibility of a small company, backed by the extensive resources of a large organization

You’ll also find an environment where people of diverse backgrounds are valued. We place a priority on promoting from within and it is not uncommon to find people who have spent their entire career at Ryerson, moving through a variety of assignments and departments. We also pursue external hires to ensure a regular flow of new ideas.

Employees at Ryerson can be proud of our role as a corporate citizen. We are committed to the communities in which we work and live. This includes participation in United Way, Junior Achievement, scholarship programs and other forms of outreach.
