Branch Manager - Recycling

There’s a lot of ways to help save the planet, some are more practical than others - and these guys are proud to be doing it in the most obvious way - recycling.
They’ve been doing it for a long time, so they know what they’re doing and they’ve got a good crew to get it done - but due to an internal promotion, they need a Branch Manager to help them keep performing in the top of their industry.
In a nutshell, it works a bit like a reverse supply chain; these guys buy from NZ customers, process the scrap metal and then export it internationally for recycling - so, do you want to help them do what they do best toward saving the planet?
