Internal Account Manager 

Magellan Aerospace Europe has entered into a partnership with Morgan Ryder. This is a strategic move to drive their employer brand and improve talent acquisition across their EU manufacturing business unit.
Donna Bennett (European HR Director) commented: 
"In a market where unemployment is at an all-time low and the number of job opportunities available are at an all-time high, ensuring our business is calibrated to modern talent acquisition is crucial. Whilst the HR team continue to nurture home grown talent through internal training and development, to achieve the business plan we will need to reach out to, communicate with, attract and secure top talent externally. Recruitment is a small part of the HR functions responsibility however it actually consumes significantly more time and resources than it should, especially when working with a diverse range of external recruitment suppliers. This partnership will not only help re-align our business to modern talent acquisition it will actually free up significant time for the HR team and allow us to focus on the delivery of more strategic and operational projects."

Over the last 20 years, the waste processing and resource recovery sector has undergone significant transformation, with advancements ranging from large-scale PFI contracts processing hundreds of thousands of tonnes of municipal solid waste (MSW) to high-tech plants that convert plastics into usable oils and fuels. Closely aligned with many of our manufacturing sector portfolios, this industry demands a broad range of technical expertise and operational excellence. The high level of transferable skills across sectors gives us a unique strength in connecting the right talent to organisations driving innovation, sustainability, and efficiency in waste processing and resource recovery.

The global waste processing industry, often valued under the broader waste management sector, was projected to be worth around $400 billion in 2025.
&nbsp;This market is driven by rising urbanisation, regulatory focus on sustainable waste management practices and increasing waste generation globally. Segments such as municipal solid waste and electronic waste management play a crucial role in supporting industry growth through initiatives in recycling, waste-to-energy and advanced waste management technologies​.
Looking forward to 2032, the global waste management market is expected to see steady growth, potentially surpassing $600 billion. Growth factors include regulatory pressures, increased recycling initiatives and the adoption of circular economy practices, especially in developing regions. Technologies like anaerobic digestion and gasification for waste-to-energy are anticipated to drive sustainable practices, meeting the demand for eco-friendly waste solutions​.
​The global waste processing industry employs over 10 million people across various roles, from collection to processing and recycling. Industry trends suggest that there is a significant number of vacancies due to rapid expansion and the need for skilled labour to support advancements in waste technology and recycling operations.
