How to Apply to Amcor

About Amcor

Application Process

1. 1
   Start at amcor

   Start at amcor.com/careers, which redirects all job search traffic to the official Workday tenant at amcor.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Amcor_External_Career_Site. As of mid-April 2026, the Workday board lists approximately 762 active requisitions globally, with Manufacturing (213 roles), Finance and Accounting (13), Engineering (9), and Human Resources (9) among the largest categories. A legacy Berry Global iCIMS portal at careers-amcor.icims.com/jobs/intro still exists for some pre-merger requisitions but is being wound down — always cross-check Workday first because it is the canonical post-merger system.

2. 2
   Create a Workday candidate profile before you apply

   Create a Workday candidate profile before you apply. Amcor's Workday instance is hosted on standard Workday Recruiting infrastructure (wd5 cluster), which means the same profile, resume parser, and application history work across every requisition. Upload a clean PDF or DOCX resume — the parser handles both, but DOCX produces marginally better field extraction for work history dates and degree information.

3. 3
   Use the location and Job Category filters aggressively

   Use the location and Job Category filters aggressively. Amcor's Workday board surfaces a 'Job Family Group' facet that maps directly to the company's internal org structure: Manufacturing, Engineering, Continuous and Process Improvement, Environmental Health and Safety (EHS), Finance and Accounting, Procurement, Customer Service, Graphics and Pre-Press, and Co-ops and Interns each have dedicated buckets. Filtering by 'Co-ops & Interns' (currently 6 open) is the cleanest path for early-career candidates.

4. 4
   Read the requisition ID format carefully

   Read the requisition ID format carefully. Post-merger requisitions are prefixed REQ_ followed by a five- or six-digit number (for example REQ_89341 for a Material Handler in Bettendorf, IA). Legacy Berry roles often appear with RPSNA (Rigid Packaging Solutions North America) or BFPNA location prefixes in the externalPath URL — these are now Amcor positions but still report through formerly-Berry plants and management chains. Knowing this helps you tailor your cover letter to the specific business unit's culture.

5. 5
   Tailor your application to the Berry integration narrative when relevant

   Tailor your application to the Berry integration narrative when relevant. If you are applying to Manufacturing, Operations, Supply Chain, Procurement, Finance, IT, or HR, the hiring manager is almost certainly thinking about the $650M synergy program — SAP/ERP harmonization, plant rationalization decisions, vendor consolidation, and headcount realignment are all live workstreams. Demonstrating that you understand integration mechanics (Day 1 readiness, TSAs, system cutover, harmonized policies) is a real differentiator.

6. 6
   Submit application, then watch your email closely

   Submit application, then watch your email closely. Workday sends an automated acknowledgment within minutes. Recruiter screens typically follow within 2–4 weeks for active reqs, longer (4–6 weeks) for plant manufacturing roles where local HR is screening high volumes. International roles route through the regional talent acquisition team based on the requisition location, not Zurich.

7. 7
   If you applied through the legacy iCIMS portal for a Berry-origin role, also cre

   If you applied through the legacy iCIMS portal for a Berry-origin role, also create a Workday profile and re-apply through the canonical posting if one exists. The two systems do not share data, and recruiters increasingly default to the Workday pipeline.

8. 8
   Expect a phone screen with a recruiter (30 minutes), followed by a hiring manage

   Expect a phone screen with a recruiter (30 minutes), followed by a hiring manager interview (45–60 minutes), then a panel of 3–5 cross-functional stakeholders. Plant-based roles usually include a site visit and walking tour. Corporate roles based in Zurich, Ann Arbor (Michigan, North American HQ), or the legacy Berry Evansville (Indiana) campus often involve travel for the final round.

Resume Tips for Amcor

Interview Culture

What Amcor Looks For

• Demonstrated safety-first mindset. Amcor's number one published value is safety, and this is not corporate wallpaper — Total Recordable Incident Rate is reported quarterly and reviewed at every plant tier meeting. Candidates who have led behavior-based safety programs, near-miss reporting cultures, or specific hazard remediations stand out.
• Operating discipline and continuous improvement experience. Lean, Six Sigma (Green Belt minimum, Black Belt strongly preferred for senior operations roles), TPM, kaizen, and 5S are baseline expectations. The company runs an internal operating system called the Amcor Operating Model (AOM) — prior exposure to similar Toyota Production System derivatives (Danaher Business System, Honeywell User Experience, Berry's own Berry Operating System) is highly transferable.
• Customer obsession in the FMCG and healthcare sense. Amcor's customers are some of the most demanding buyers in global commerce — they expect on-time-in-full delivery north of 98%, ppm defect rates measured in single digits, and joint innovation roadmaps. Candidates who have lived inside that pressure cooker (whether at an Amcor competitor or at the customer side) speak the language fluently.
• Sustainability fluency. The 2030 pledge to make all packaging recyclable, reusable, or compostable is not a marketing line — it drives R&D pipeline decisions, capex prioritization, and customer conversations. Candidates who can speak credibly about mono-material structures, recyclate inclusion, design for recycling, EPR (extended producer responsibility) regulations across jurisdictions, and the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) demonstrate immediate value.
• Integration and change-management experience. With $650M of synergies to capture and 70,000 people across two formerly separate companies, the next three years are dominated by integration work. Anyone who has lived through a comparable industrial merger — Sealed Air / Cryovac, International Paper / DS Smith, Smurfit Westrock, Sonoco / Eviosys — has experience that maps directly.
• Global mobility and cross-cultural agility. Amcor operates in 140+ countries with a Zurich corporate base, Australian listing roots, US operational center of gravity, strong European and Latin American presence, and growing Asia-Pacific footprint. Candidates open to international assignments, comfortable working across time zones, and culturally aware (not just 'speaks two languages') move faster.
• Technical depth in your specialty. Generalists who 'manage things' do not advance well at Amcor; the company values craft. A converter operator who has run a specific press for ten years is more valued than a young MBA who wants to 'rotate through operations.' Senior R&D scientists are expected to have publications, patents, or proprietary process development on their record.
• Commercial accountability for engineering and operations leaders. Plant managers are P&L owners. Engineering managers carry capital project budgets and ROI commitments. EHS leaders own incident-rate KPIs that flow into executive scorecards. Candidates who can talk numbers — not just 'we improved things' — fit the culture.
• Integrity and discretion. Amcor is a public company in two jurisdictions (NYSE and ASX), holds confidential customer specifications under NDA, and operates in regulated sectors (food, pharma, healthcare). Behavioral questions probe integrity heavily — how you handled a moral gray-area situation, what you did when you discovered a quality non-conformance after shipment, how you talked to a customer about a supply issue you caused.
• Long-term orientation. The packaging industry rewards patience. Capex projects have 5–10 year paybacks. Customer relationships are measured in decades. Material science breakthroughs take years of trials. Candidates who signal genuine interest in building a long career at Amcor — rather than a 2-year stop on the way to somewhere else — are favored, especially for plant leadership and R&D tracks.
