A leading employer
Opal is unique in that we have such a diverse range of opportunities and
careers across a large geographical spread in Australia and New Zealand.
From Margaret River to Bundaberg, down to Gippsland and across
to Christchurch, NZ, you will find Opal team members working hard
24/7 to meet the packaging needs of our customers.
Opal has more than 4,000 team members in ANZ and around the
world and in 2021 we welcomed over 400 new employees across
our operations.
Our largest site is the Maryvale Mill in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley where
we have over 800 team members. In 2021 we hired 79 new employees
for this site alone, reinforcing our position as one of the region’s
leading employers.
Each year, Opal’s Botany Mill and Maryvale Mill undergo a major
shut to complete essential and major maintenance works. The
combined Botany and Maryvale major shuts in 2021 required a
total investment of $26.3m with 73,809 work hours from up to 1,500
workers on site each day, completing 2,600 maintenance jobs and
26 major projects..
We are One Opal Team, embracing the strength of our diversity and
working together to achieve extraordinary things.
