CAREERS

Regional Manager, Auckland

“I started work at Phoenix in 2013. I enjoy working for a company that is trying to make a difference in the metal recycling industry. Knowing that the business is trying to educate the importance of recycling to the public and it’s team.”

Phoenix promotes from within.  Shaheen started in the yard working at the shredder, and has worked his way up to a regional role.

Office Manager, Timaru

“Yea the girls! To work for a company that encourages equality, and fights against gender bias makes me feel proud, and supported. Having always been involved with predominantly male workplaces, it’s refreshing and empowering to have support that hasn’t always been there before. Thank you for having me, I think I’ve found my happy place.”

National Infrastructure Decommissioning Manager

After selling GMR to Phoenix Metalman in February 2022, Julian chose to remain active in the industry, continuing to deliver core decommissioning services to the energy and infrastructure sectors, supported by Phoenix’s nationwide network and capabilities.

“I’m genuinely excited to be embarking on this new chapter with Phoenix. It’s an incredible journey to be part of, and I’m proud to work alongside such a talented and dedicated team.”

Branch Manager, Kamo

“I first entered the metal recycling industry as a youngster on the ground floor at Kamo Scrap Metals. I spent 10 years there before the business became part of Phoenix Metalman Recyclers.

Some of the team I started with are still here today, and together we have continued to grow and evolve alongside Phoenix. I am now managing the yard where I began my career, and I am incredibly proud to play a significant role in supporting recycling efforts across New Zealand.”

Product Stewardship & Business Development Manager

“I began my career in the industry in 2013 as a weighbridge operator. From there, I’ve taken on a wide range of roles including loading containers, operating the container hoist, and running material handlers.

Although I have moved in and out of the Phoenix business over the years, I was keen to return when I saw the exciting direction the company was heading. I progressed from 2IC to Branch Manager, then Regional Manager for the Lower North Island, and I am now focused on product stewardship and business development.

What I enjoy most about working for Phoenix is the unpredictability. You never know what is going to come through the gate, and there is real satisfaction in problem solving and finding the right way to manage unfamiliar or challenging materials.”

Office Administrator, Dunedin

“I have worked in the metal recycling business for 10 years and started with Phoenix in 2022. I appreciate the helpful and encouraging team I work with and thoroughly enjoy my role in the Phoenix family and educating the public on recycling. When we throw anything away it must go somewhere. When you put the whole picture together, recycling is the right thing to do.”
