PEP
Forging solid gold
Orica Philippines is where innovators are nurtured and put into positions where they can thrive and deliver meaningful outcomes that extend beyond the industry, customers and communities.
With over 50 years in the country, Orica Philippines has long believed in the power of people to lead change. It utilizes a global network of over 100 countries to enable people to grow and learn in a diverse, collaborative culture.
This wealth of opportunities has enabled many Orica Philippines team members to build and sustain meaningful careers, especially in a job landscape that has undergone serious changes in recent years.
Marc Obra has seen those opportunities firsthand and used them to create new avenues for both his personal and career development. Having been with Orica Philippines since 2012, Marc got his start with the technical team and starred in various technical, operations, and business development roles before landing his current position as a territory manager for surface metals accounts.
This string of strong performances has led to an opportunity for Marc in the QLD Coal division of the Orica Australia office. Asked on how Orica's work environment has impacted his knowledge and skills to take on his new role, Marc credits how Orica's wealth of experience helped uplift his entire team's capabilities in providing solutions to their partners.
To this day, Marc sees Orica's collaborative spirit as a unique strength, saying that collaboration instills confidence, knowing that there is always someone backing team members to help them address the needs of partners and the industry.
With a new opportunity ahead of him, Marc highlights Orica's commitment to upskilling and placing people in the best places to find continued success within the organization.
"I cannot think of any employer that will make you feel safe, respected, included, confident, and future-proof, other than Orica."
