Internship Program (Oct 2024)

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?

Intern programs

You’ll be a student who is between their second to penultimate year and will work with us for 10-12 weeks over the summer break. This is your chance to apply all you have learnt in real life situations and use your initiative to seek out projects to showcase your capability.  As a successful intern, you’ll get first access to our Australian Graduate Program opportunities

Disciplines and locations

You could be studying from a range of degrees that include (but not limited) to:

• Engineering: Mining, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical, Mine Geotechnical, Civil, Metallurgy / Minerals Processing, Chemical, Construction
• Science: Earth Science / Geology (Honours / Masters), Hydrogeology, Environmental, Physics, Chemistry, Spatial Science (Surveying)
• Health Science: Safety, Health, Occupational Hygiene, Medical Radiation, Toxicology
• Technology: Computer Science, Data Science, Cybersecurity, Maths and Statistics
• Business: Finance, Accounting, Commerce 

Our Australian graduate and intern opportunities for engineering and science will be residential or Fly-In-Fly-Out (FIFO), either way giving you the chance to support and live in a thriving local community.  Roles such as Technology will support our operations from our city location (e.g Perth or Brisbane), but they are never far from the action.

Supporting a Diverse Workforce

The size and magnitude of our business not only provides significant opportunity for professional development but also attractive salary packages with performance-based bonuses and a unique BHP employee share program. 

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.
