2025 Survey Graduate Program  

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? 

About the Role 

As a BHP Survey Graduate, your 24-month graduate program is a balanced approach to building your technical and professional capabilities through structured course work and learning on the job. When you start, you’ll be given a buddy who will show you the ropes and gain access to our mentor program to help shape your career.  

As a part of the Survey team, you will work with some of the best in the business who will provide guidance as you continue to build your technical skills through involvement with our mine site’s survey requirements utilising the latest technology.   

As BHP Graduate, you will:  

  • Rotate into different teams 2-4 times 
  • Work alongside industry leaders 
  • Collaborate on projects across multiple disciplines 
  • Contribute to improvement initiatives 

Attend technical forums where you will hear inspiring presentations, participate in activities focused on expanding your technical knowledge and networking with other graduates.  

What we offer our Graduates 

  • A permanent position is on offer. 
  • An attractive salary package plus a performance-based bonus 
  • Employee share program and great employee discounts 
  • An ongoing commitment to your well-being

An attractive salary package includes a performance based bonus, plus employee share program, recognition program & range of employee discounts. Relocation costs covered as required.

What we are looking for 

You will have already graduated in 2022 or 2023 or be eligible for graduation by the end of 2024. Your degree could be from one of the following (but not limited) to:  

Survey, Applied Science (Surveying / Spatial Science), Spatial Science Technology.  

We are looking for Graduate Surveyors to join us in Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia. As our Survey 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 will be open to consider either of these arrangements to undertake a grad role.  

International students who have a valid visa with no work restrictions are eligible to apply. 

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.

While it is necessary to have a foundational knowledge of Process or Chemical Engineering to do my IROC role, most of the day-to-day skills I have used in all my roles are soft skills of organisation, communication, management, and collaboration.
