2024 Australian Indigenous Graduate Campaign

To help build a better world, we need the best and brightest.

Why not you?

At BHP, our purpose is to bring people and resources together to build a better world.  We have the resources. What we produce is essential to carbon reduction and the technologies essential to secure prosperity for generations to come.

But we need more good people. Not just anyone, but the best and brightest graduates from every field of academic and technical endeavour. Graduates who will challenge us, as we will challenge them. 

If you join us, the opportunities are endless; because you will not only help build a better world, you will help shape it. Someone has to do it. Why not you?

About the Role

As a BHP Graduate, your 24 month graduate program is a balanced approach to building your technical and professional capabilities through structured course work and learning on the job. When you start, you’ll be given a buddy who will show you the ropes and gain access to our mentor program to help shape your career.

As BHP Graduate, you will:

• Rotate into different teams 2-4 times
• Work alongside industry leaders
• Collaborate on projects across multiple disciplines
• Contribute to improvement initiatives
• Attend technical forums where you will hear inspiring presentations, participate in activities focused on expanding your technical knowledge and networking with other graduates.

What we offer our Graduates

• A permanent position is on offer.
• An attractive salary package plus a performance based bonus
• Employee share program and great employee discounts
• An ongoing commitment to your well-being.

What we are looking for

You will have already graduated in 2021 or 2022, or be eligible for graduation by the end of 2023.  Your degree could be from one of the following (but not limited) to:

• Engineering: Mining, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical, Mine Geotechnical, Civil, Metallurgy / Minerals Processing, Chemical, Construction Management, Instrumentation Control and Automation, Structural, Quantity Surveying
• Science: Earth Science / Geology, Hydrogeology, Environmental, Chemistry, Spatial Science (Surveying), GIS
• Health Science: Safety, Health, Nursing, Paramedical Science
• Technology: Computer Science, Data Science, Cybersecurity, Maths and Statistics
• Business: Commerce. Finance, Economics, Accounting, Law

As our graduate opportunities for engineering and science are residentially based near our mining operations or require you to work on a Fly-In-Fly-Out (FIFO) roster, it is important that you’ll be willing to consider either of these arrangements to undertake a grad role.   Roles such as Technology and Commercial will support our operations from our city locations, but they are never far from the action.
