Yes. Not everyone at BHP was successful on their first application. It can take time to get the right role that fits your skill set and personal situation.

BHP offers a broad range of career opportunities around the globe. However, BHP does not have a policy of automatically sponsoring candidates who are not authorised to work in a specific country. If you have the required skills and experience for the position, we suggest you make an application.

No. All applications must be made online, via our careers page, so we can easily track your application and assess your skills and experience against the opportunities we have.

Your resume will suffice at this stage, however HR will contact you if further documentation is required.

We post jobs regularly, often daily, so we recommend you visit our site often and search our current vacancies. You can also subscribe to Job Alerts, where you will be notified of future jobs that match your selected preferences.

This varies across regions but we normally display the closing date on the top of our job postings. If you see an opportunity that you think is suitable, apply online as soon as you can. Once the job closes, we often cannot accept any more applications.

Absolutely. You are welcome to apply for any of our job postings that you believe match your skill-set and career aspirations.

Our job postings are designed to attract people who are interested in joining BHP. They are not intended for recruitment suppliers. We will not accept responsibility for any fees related to unsolicited applications from recruitment suppliers.

We might ask you to do a video interview and some abilities testing online. To get you ready for this, we’ll send you an email with instructions and practice tests. Make sure you read all this information carefully and always do the practice video questions and tests so you know what to expect and have the best chance of success. 

Our advice is to do the pre-screening activities as soon as you can, however we understand that people have rosters and other commitments that might delay this process.

You can contact us (https://www.bhp.com/contact-us/) to let us know about any delays or issues you may be having in completing this testing.

There’s nothing to worry about. Check what your camera is going to see, and test your microphone and sound. Allow yourself plenty of time, relax as much as possible and remember you are just talking about yourself and your experience. It’s in our best interest for you to do well so we will be helping you succeed as much as we can.

A fully charged phone, smart device or computer is all you need to get started. Earphones with a microphone are often better for sound quality. We know that sometimes technology can let us down. If that happens, don’t worry, we will work on either switching to a different method or rescheduling.

Wear the same attire you would for a face-to-face interview. Smart-casual is fine with us.
