Reviews
In my present role as a yard supervisor, I leverage my engineering background to focus on optimizing metal recycling machinery. This includes fine-tuning machine settings to enhance efficiency and minimize downtime. I also analyze factors like mechanical breakdowns and maintenance scheduling, as they significantly influence production. Through careful analysis, I make data-driven decisions to enhance machine performance and meet production targets
My roll as a graduate Trading / Commercial representative consists of providing support to our trading team and managers, managing vendors and sourcing new business.
Everyday changes, I'm learning each single job / task in the yard, so I will say responsable for my own learning and development.

Pros and cons of working at Sims Limited
Pros
The best aspect of working at Sims Metal is the opportunity to be part of a well- established and environmentally responsible company. Sims Metal values sustainability, innovation, and employee development, providing a positive work environment and a sense of contributing to a greener future utilising the most optimised engineering processes available
The most enjoyable experience about working for Sims Metal is the positive work environment that surrounds all aspects of the business. I find everyone incredibly supportive of each other and generally happy to be at work.
The best thing about Sims is the people you work with. Everyone is very approachable, professional, and helpful. I can go to anyone in the company and I know they will assist to their best ability.
You are able to be exposed to so many aspects of engineering in business, from designing and installing machinery to operating and maintaining it.
It is particularly satisfying to know that the job I am doing is environmentally friendly, and it gives me a sense of fulfillment to be a part of such an endeavor.
Cons
Not so much the 'worst' thing, but I would love to see a more diverse range of people working on site. All office and admin rolls appear to be diverse; however, yard roles tend to be dominated by men. I understand this is primarily due to the nature of the work and that it can be hard to diversify when the industry is so male-dominated. I think that there is potential for a few changes to be made to make a more welcoming space for women to want to apply for yard positions. I have noticed that there has been effort toward this, and I greatly appreciate that. I look forward to seeing how Sims adapts and grows further in the future.
So many challenges in all aspects, especially planning and organizing.
Reporting processes can be challenging during report periods e.g. EOM and EOFY
In my area of work, Learning and Development, can be very challenging to implement global standardised processes and global training because every region, state, and even on a yard level are doing processes differently.
Sims has become a global large-scale operation over the years but maybe not enough time has been making Sims more unified in some areas.
