good hard workers who struggle from different msgs from local and SA management and end up at least double handling every day and have to lose two workers before getting only one replacement health an safety is non existant i had 3 strokes in a week while at work nothing was written down or spoken about had 4 different hopeless bosses in 3 years not one made it a better place to work and very low wage for operaters yard is a constant environment hazard cars are crushed full of fuel and oil and wet season rain spreads it out to street an down drains

The work that I do mainly consists of metal processing .
This involves  sorting different types of metals like Steel, Copper, ICW's and electronic components which are all individually weighted , tipped  and sold separately.
I learned to operate new and different tools , machinery and equipment, perform different tasks , identify problems and avoid hazards and eliminating deficiencies.
The management always keeps us informed on what is going on.
We all work ethically and co operatively with safety in mind at all times.
Without doubt the hardest part of the job is cleaning and the most satisfying is seeing the place all cleaned at the end of the week.

enjoyed all the challenges and diversity of the job. 
the guys were great.we all had our jobs to do but always looked out for each other.
the most enjoyable part of the job was operating all the different machines.doing the shipping was the hardest but also the most rewarding .we.ther helping out in non ferrous section or unloading trucks it was all self satisfying.i learned quite a lot in terms of working as a team to complete required tasks.its a great industry to be part of.

I loved working here, it could be a very fast paced environment with customer arriving all together, many tasks had to be handled at one time. But it could quickly drop off enabling time to catch up on office duties. Co workers and management at the local yard were great to work with. But like many large companies the higher ranking management could be deceitful and uncaring.

I do not recommend working here at all. A lot of  harassment from management, training was insufficient then get yelled at for doing things wrong. Too many chiefs with no people skills. I constantly got told differing ways to do certain tasks. I spent a lot of time crying in the toilet. 

Working at sims dose not have many benefits or do you feel you have a secure job , you are required to learn new ways every few days then they get changed . It is not the most enjoyable place to be working in but it dose have good moments and the fellow workers are all good to work with.

Worked there for almost 32 years with a great bunch of people. The work was hard and hot in the summer months and varied from day to day. Of course there's always going to be some bad eggs in the basket, but overall was a good place to work.

During my time here we were usually sent out to different mine sites to remove their scrap metal using mobile machinery and oxy  torches, our roster is 3&1, I enjoy the FIFO lifestyle and the people I work with.

as labour hire, this was one of the better jobs they sent me to.
i learned a lot about the scrap metal industry, oxy cutting and machinery opperating.
i left after a masive argument with management

Working with the employees was quite rewarding, very down to earth atmosphere.  Hard at first to grasp, but once onboard very enjoyable. Was only working part time, but lead to full time
