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.

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

• 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 2023 or 2024 or be eligible for graduation by the end of 2025. 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.
