About Us

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 is to focus on creating a safe work environment where our employees feel strongly connected to our values and objectives, and where the capability of our people is key to our success. Come and be a part of this success.

About the Role

The BHP Iron Ore Rail Operations team are thinking big for the future of Heavy Haul Train Driving in WA. We have developed an initiative that will change the way we recruit and train locomotive drivers into the future of Rail and BHP, enabling our experienced professional team to pass on their pride, passion and performance to a new cohort of train drivers.

The Rail Operations Trainee Program is your opportunity to follow an intensive course to learn our safety systems, how we operate, and the skills required to become a qualified shunter. The course then progresses onto a driver training program that will see you pass-out as a qualified heavy haul train driver on completion.

Trainees will utilise new technology, virtual reality, and hands-on scenarios to accelerate their learning in a program more ambitious than anything we have done previously in Rail. This trainee pipeline enables candidates new to the industry to develop a career that will support their development and families for decades.

Reporting to one of our Training Supervisors, the role will be challenging, and the course will require focus and confidence. Once qualified you will be responsible for some of the longest, heaviest trains in the world, across a network spanning 1,330km of track. You will work 12-hour shifts starting around the clock and there will be long periods where you will work alone. The role is based in the heat of the Pilbara and includes emergency response, breakdown rectification and compliance to strict regulatory safety processes. But you will be supported every step of the way, as you learn the industry and tasks required to become a professional driver.

About You

We are eager to engage with people who have a genuine interest in starting a career within the Rail industry and come from a range of diverse backgrounds. We are looking for adaptable, positive individuals who are open to exploring the world of rail whilst learning something new every day. As a BHP Trainee Train Driver, you will learn to operate within Safe Work practices to ensure the reliable delivery of Iron ore from Mine sites to the Port Hedland Port Terminal. It is critical that you perform all duties in accordance with Network Rules, Regulations and Safe Operating Procedures.

The following skills are a sample of the attributes you need to be successful:

  • The ability to maintain high standards of safety, equipment serviceability, housekeeping and compliance with specific tasks and procedures.
  • Able to be decisive and autonomous, be prepared to stop if instructions are unclear and have the confidence to make those decisions instantly.
  • A friendly and collaborative approach to colleagues and customers.
  • Committed and reliable, keeping up with training whilst fulfilling operational requirements.
  • Current West Australian C Class manual driver's license.
  • Computer literacy would be advantageous.
Rosters and Location

You will be trained on our sites in the Pilbara on a FIFO roster. All of our team have rolling sign-on times so those shifts could start at any time of the day or night in a 24-hour period, informed in advance. We ask you to consider how these rosters will fit in with your lifestyle before applying for these opportunities.

Supporting a Diverse Workforce

At BHP, we recognise that we are strengthened by diversity. We are committed to providing a work environment in which everyone is included, treated fairly and with respect. We are an Equal Opportunity employer and we encourage applications from women and Indigenous people. We know there are many aspects of our employees' lives that are important, and work is only one of these, so we offer benefits to enable your work to fit with your life. These benefits include flexible working options, a generous paid parental leave policy, other extended leave entitlements and parent rooms.
