Job description

ABOUT US

Metycle: where innovation meets sustainability

We are reshaping the global secondary metals industry to accelerate the circular flow of metals. By combining global trading, advanced processing and digital intelligence, we make secondary metals more predictable, transparent and scalable, strengthening industrial supply chains and reducing reliance on primary metal production.

And the impact is significant: recycling aluminium can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 95% compared with primary aluminium production.

And we take it further! Our SmartSorting Hubs combine advanced sorting technology, automation and AI to transform how complex scrap is processed, turning selected mixed streams into better-defined industrial feedstock while improving material quality and traceability.

Join us at a defining stage as we bring the $600 billion scrap metals industry into the 21st century and build a new global standard for secondary metals.
