Non Ferrous Trading Manager NSW/ACT
Sims Metal APAC – Sydney, Australia
“It is enjoyable at Sims true to the cliché that every day is different. One day you could be on a mine site inspecting scrap, another day closing a copper deal based on that day’s market and another figuring out how you might scrap an aeroplane for recycling. At Sims there is always something to learn whilst the people are very supportive in helping you achieve this.”
