Romanian term

Merciolog

Romanian to English Other Engineering: Industrial Customer questionnaire for water waste facilities
This is the answer to a question, but there is no clarification about what the question is. Most of the questions are general ones about utilities services in general, and then some are more specifically regarding to the services of this company. I think that this may relate to a more general theme.

The document is in the form of an Excel spreadsheet. There is not identifiable name to the column, but other answers in the column are: "Proiectant, Administrator, Ingener Mecanic, Director General...". Therefore I presume this is listing job titles, so could the correct target terms be "buyer" or "sales person" ??

Merceolog is an older job title and it is no longer used is the Romanian Standard Occupational Classification. It used to describe the job of an expert working in Sales or Procurement (in Romanian businesses). The term in the glossary is a literal translation and has nothing to do with the usage in UK, USA etc.
Gabrielle Weatherhead Jan 13, 2013:
@ Sara The spelling is incorrect, it should have been Merceolog.
Lara Barnett (asker) Jan 12, 2013:
@ Sara Thank you. But we only use "commodities" in the area of economics and finance in UK. The answer chosen in the glossary term was incorrect, unless it referred to a financial role.

....typo: this term.
Peer comment(s):

agree Gabrielle Weatherhead : I tend to agree, or Product expert. Despite it having been translated as commodities expert, I don't think that would mean much in the UK in this context.
