About the Location

Huntly is one of our two bauxite mines in Western Australia. Established in 1976 and located east of North Dandalup, it is the world's second largest bauxite mine, supplying ore to Alcoa's Pinjarra alumina refinery. Bauxite ore from our Huntly and Willowdale mines helps produce almost half of Australia's alumina and approximately 19 percent of Australia's aluminium. Our workplace is inclusive and respectful, embracing change, new ideas and equal opportunity to succeed.

We are values‐led, vision‐driven and united by our purpose of transforming raw potential into real progress. Our commitments to Inclusion, Diversity & Equity include providing trusting workplaces that are safe, respectful and inclusive of all individuals, free from discrimination, bullying and harassment, and that reflect the diversity of the communities in which we operate.
