Regional Operations Leader - NSW/QLD

Join us in turning electronic waste into opportunity.

Sircel is pioneering a new approach to electronic waste, creating value from materials others see as waste whilst delivering genuine environmental benefits. As our Regional Operations Leader, you'll drive operational excellence across NSW (Western Sydney and regional) and Queensland (Yatala), leading site teams whilst building expertise in the booming environmental tech sector.

Who is Sircel (pronounced 'Circle')?

Sircel is an Australian owned and operated green technology business on a mission to eradicate e-waste. We are Australia's largest e-waste recycling business and work with hundreds of businesses and government bodies to recycle their e-waste, right here in Australia, returning the green commodities to the circular economy.

Every day, at six sites across Australia, we're 'turning e-waste into e-resources'. This is not just a concept, it's a reality. Over the last eight years we've built a large-scale, customised mechanical process that can recycle up to 60 tonnes of e-waste per day and regenerate up to 14 valuable materials such as copper, steel and aluminium.
