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.

READY TO MAKE AN IMPACT?

A great workplace doesn't run by itself. It takes someone who keeps things organized, connects people, and makes everyday work run smoothly.

• Recruiting & Employee Experience: Coordinate interviews and appointments, support candidate communication, and help organize smooth onboarding and offboarding experiences
• Equipment & Tools: Coordinate employee equipment, including laptops and other devices, manage handovers and returns, and ensure employees have the tools and access they need in collaboration with relevant teams
• Continuous Improvement: Keep track of open tasks, follow up with colleagues and external providers, and proactively identify opportunities to make everyday processes and coordination more efficient

YOUR PROFILE

• Experience in office administration, office management, team assistance, People Operations, or a similar organizational role
• Highly organized, reliable, and detail-oriented, with a structured approach to work and a strong sense of ownership

• Comfortable handling administrative responsibilities (e.g. filing, documentation, invoices, receipts etc.)
• Proactive and service-oriented, with an eye for detail and a knack for organizing events, coordinating logistics, and keeping things running smoothly.
• Confident using digital tools and software platforms, with an interest in practical IT topics such as setting up laptops, user accounts, and access management
