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 and students 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 BHP Intern, you will:  

  • Basic geological data analysis
  • Contribute to exploration planning
  • Be able to apply all you’ve learnt in real world situations and use your initiative to seek out projects to showcase your capability.
  • Work in diverse teams who will support, encourage, and help you build your technical skills.
  • Gain exposure to the resources sector at an early stage of your career.
  • Build your own professional network with a range of technical experts and graduates.
  • Attend networking events with other interns and graduates.

If your role is based on a mine site, you will be provided with flights, accommodation, PPE clothing and meals. 

As a successful intern you’ll get first access to our Australian Graduate Program opportunities or be invited back for another internship if you are in the earlier years of your degree.     

What we are looking for 

You’ll be a student who is between their second to penultimate year and be able to work with us for 10-12 weeks over the summer break.  Your degree could be from one of the following (but not limited) to: 

  • Earth Science, Geology, Geophysics, Geoscience.

As our Geology Intern opportunities 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 an intern role.    

International students who have a valid visa with no work restrictions for the duration of the internship program are eligible to register. 

About Our Process  

At BHP, we are committed to employing individuals who align with the BHP Charter Values and meet the requirements of the role. As part of the recruitment process, there are a number of checks which may be conducted to demonstrate applicants suitability for a role including police / criminal background checks, medical, drug and alcohol testing, due diligence checks, right to work checks, and/or reference checks.  

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.

Graduate Success Stories

Working on site comes with its own challenges! However, at the end of the day I always feel a massive sense of accomplishment.

  • Graduate stories
The coolest thing about my job is getting to work with many stakeholders across such a span of the mine lifecycle. We are involved in exploration planning, long and short-term mine planning, operations, hazard management and mine closure.
