Internship Program

“From my first day on the job I knew working with Sims Metal Management was going to be well worth my time. Bob Kelman, the President of Commercial and Business Development, let me sit in on an executive meeting and gave me my first research project… and this was all before lunch! My understanding of the recycling business from the corporate perspective was complemented by the time I spent at the Claremont Terminal…Seeing the actual process up close was exciting…I could not place a dollar value on the skills I gained, in just three short months. Thank you for the unforgettable experience!” ~ Jarred Fattoross, SimsMM Intern
