Opus International Consultants is an international multi-disciplinary infrastructure consultancy operating in five markets – Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. Opus provides professional consultancy services in transportation asset development and management, building design, water and other infrastructure.[1]
History
Opus’ origins began with the Ministry of Works and Development, a former New Zealand government entity which was established in 1876. Corporatized in 1988, the Ministry of Works and Development became a State-Owned-Enterprise and was thereafter known as Works and Development Services Corporation NZ Limited.[2]
In 1996, Kinta Kellas purchased Works and Development Services and the company was rebranded as Opus International Consultants Limited in 1997. From 2002 onwards, Opus developed its global markets through a series of acquisitions and in 2007, Opus was listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange.
Today, Opus has approximately 3,000 staff throughout Australia, MENA (Middle East & North Africa), Canada, The United Kingdom, New Zealand and United States of America.
