Indigenous Only Opportunities

About BHP

At BHP, we support our people to grow, learn, develop their skills, and reach their potential. With a global portfolio of operations, we offer a diverse and inclusive environment with extraordinary career opportunities. Our strategy focuses on creating a safe work environment where our employees feel connected to our values and objectives, and where the capability of our people is key to our success.

We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people looking to start or continue their careers in mining to Think Big with BHP. Indigenous Peoples are critical partners and stakeholders in many of BHP's operations both within Australia and globally. Many of our operations are located on or near lands traditionally owned by or under the customary use of Indigenous Peoples, and our long-term operations enable us to establish enduring relationships with these communities.
