Component Recovery Specialist, Value Recovery

Role overview

This position is centered on increasing the recovered value from retired IT hardware by spotting opportunities that are not yet being captured. The work happens at the sub-component level, with attention on parts hidden inside larger assemblies, such as individual chips or other high-value elements that may be missed during a broader disposition review. The role covers the full path from identifying an opportunity to putting it into practice, and the outputs will contribute to the wider value recovery strategy led by the NPI Coordinator. As the programme grows, responsibilities may broaden into additional value recovery and reverse logistics work.
