Operations Cadet (2023), New Zealand
"Working as a Cadet Operational at Sims Metal has been a rewarding experience for me, even though I had no prior experience in metal recycling. Despite being an industry that has traditionally been male-dominated, I am grateful for the overwhelming support from my team members and management. This enables me to learn all aspects of the business, which has prepared me for future endeavors. The company's work culture is exceptional, and I have experienced firsthand its commitment to diversity and equality. It is particularly satisfying to know that the job I am doing is environmentally friendly, and I take pride in being part of this initiative."

Commercial Buyer Trainee (2024), North America
"My experience so far is going well. I am meeting a lot of people who allow me to gain insight of the business and the importance of what Sims does. I spend a lot of my days outside in the yard with the operations team achieving as much hands on experience and shadowing."

Operations Cadet (2018), New Zealand
"The job has many cool aspects but being able to see results for your hard work would be the most rewarding part. We pour time and effort into processing the material and seeing the yard empty after a bulk export creates a sense of purpose and achievement. Building relationships with people and having the ability to not only discuss work, but also life in general in a safe and family environment."
