"We passed the Metal Recycling General Operative Apprenticeship!"

We'd like to say a massive congratulations to Will Mellor and Matthew Smith, pictured above with our team, for both completing their Level 2 Metal Recycling General Operative Apprenticeship with a Distinction Pass! The team are super proud of them for working incredibly hard over the last 12- 18 months.

This apprenticeship is a great opportunity to learn on the job whilst working towards a valuable career qualification. Plus, you get to earn while you learn! So let's find out a little more about the scheme.

A Metal Recycling General Operative (MRGO) apprentice role will see an individual taking on a wide range of different tasks and responsibilities both outside on the yard and in an office-like environment. Its perfect for a school or college leaver aged 18 and above. All training will be provided and there is an opportunity to complete a NVQ Level 2 Qualification, specific to our industry, with the possibility of further opportunity to attain an NVQ Level 4 through a Government approved apprenticeship scheme!

An MRGO will be charged with handling all types of equipment and will perform lots of tasks undertaken in a metal recycling yard. This includes:

• Identifying different metals
• Sorting and separating metals into grades
• Understanding the commercial impact grading metals has on the organisation
• Processing End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV), Waste Electronic & Electrical Equipment (WEEE) and Large Domestic Appliances (LDA)
