BHP is a large-scale mining operator with 10,000+ employees across Australia, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific. The tech stack reveals an operations-heavy, SAP-centric enterprise (ERP, Fiori, SQL Server) layered with Python and SQL for data work, plus heavy investment in identity and access control (Saviynt, CyberArk, adopting Silverfort and Okta). Engineering and operations roles dominate hiring (244 of 318 active roles), and active projects cluster around production reliability, preventative maintenance, autonomous fleet management, and data ingestion — signaling a push toward operational visibility and equipment uptime automation rather than digital disruption.
BHP extracts and processes copper, iron ore, metallurgical coal, and potash across global operations, with primary headquarters in Melbourne. The company supplies materials into renewable energy (copper), sustainable agriculture (potash), and global infrastructure (steel and energy). Operations span Australia, the United States, Canada, Chile, Brazil, Singapore, and India. Hiring is accelerating across engineering and operations teams, with notable active projects in production optimization, autonomous fleet management, and data systems — reflecting a focus on asset reliability and supply-chain efficiency in capital-intensive extraction and processing.
SAP (ERP and Fiori), Microsoft 365 suite, Power BI, Python, SQL, SQL Server, Kubernetes, Jira, ServiceNow, and identity tools (Saviynt, CyberArk). Currently adopting Okta and Silverfort for identity management.
Production budget development, the Jansen potash project, preventative maintenance strategies, autonomous fleet management, data ingestion systems, and digital transformation planning focused on human-centered AI adoption.
