Meet the women of EMR
“There are so many opportunities available at EMR that I’d recommend getting a job in a yard, discover what it is that excites you and then follow that.”
As Export General Manager at EMR, Sammy Hunter oversees the final leg of the journey taken by EMR’s sustainable materials in the UK.
“When a ship arrives at the dock, my team comes into its own. I oversee my team loading the ships, ensuring we meet the terms of the contract we have made and making sure the grades of material we’re loading meet the expectations of the buyer.”
“My main reason for becoming a board member for Women in Recycling is to help women who are starting out in their careers, so they feel like there are more people who’ve shared their experiences within the industry.”
“I felt immediately valued as a team member and EMR invested in my training. I also got a chance to meet so many different people and everyone was so supportive.”
“The more we see women in these jobs, the more we can inspire others to be part of this amazing industry.”
“EMR has long placed sustainable practices at the top of its priority, but there’s always going to be new technologies and more efficient ways to do things.”
“I’m here to answer employee questions and deliver any necessary training. It’s different every day.”
“This is an industry where if you work hard, you’re able to progress your career very quickly.”
“I have always been interested in solving very difficult engineering challenges - but also how to apply this in a business setting.”
“I’ve had the chance to visit teams in EMR Netherlands and at EMR Hamburg… Every employee was so welcoming – it felt like being part of a bigger family.”
“I have two members of my family working here, but it also feels like I’m part of a wider family at EMR - where everybody supports one another.”
“When you’re working in a consultancy, all you can do is to offer advice, whereas now I’m inside the fold making those decisions and seeing them through.”
