Chief Commercial Officer ANZ
“I began a cadetship in industrial management with Sims as an 18-year-old; at the time, I really hadn’t given much thought to, or worked out what I wanted to do for a career. Little did I realise that almost 35-years later, I would be sitting in the chair as Chief Operating Officer of the ANZ region. From a professional viewpoint, I could say that Sims has taught me most of what I know today; it has also afforded me valuable opportunities to travel extensively and work in a wide variety of disciplines and fields. From a personal viewpoint, I have been fortunate to build a very rewarding career, made lifelong friends and enjoyed myself immensely along the way. If you are considering a career at Sims – try it, we will surprise you!”

Engineering Standards Manager, Sims Metal APAC
“I work as an engineer building and upgrading our plants around Australia and New Zealand. I love being able to be involved in a project from concept to operation. As an engineer, there are not many companies that give you the opportunity to be involved in complex, multi-disciplinary design and to be able see that design come together in a large-scale site installation.”
