Indigenous Internship Program null

If you're looking for an opportunity to build your future, consider the intern opportunities at BHP and take the first step towards laying the foundation for a lifelong career. Why not you?

We offer our Interns the opportunity to:

• Do paid work in diverse teams who will support, encourage, and help you build your technical skills for the future.
• Build your own professional network with a range of technical experts and graduates.
• Attend networking events with other interns and graduates.
• If your role is based on a mine site we cover your flights, accommodation, PPE clothing and meals.

About the Role

As BHP Intern, you will be able to apply all you’ve learnt in real world 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 or be invited back for another internship if you are in the earlier years of your degree.  

What we are looking for

We are looking for people just like you to help produce essential resources for the energy transition, development of infrastructure, and a better world - both now and in the future.

You’ll be a student who is between their second to penultimate year and is able to work with us for 10-12 weeks over the summer break. 

You will be passionate about making a difference and the desire to learn more about the skills required to drive innovation and deliver outcomes as part of a team.

Your degree could be from one of the following (but not limited) to:

• Engineering: Mining, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical, Mine Geotechnical, Civil, Structural, Metallurgy / Minerals Processing, Chemical, Construction Management, Project Management, Instrumentation Control and Automation
• Science: Earth Science / Geology, Hydrogeology, Environmental, Physics, Chemistry, Spatial Science (Surveying), GIS
• Health Science: Safety, Health
• Technology: Computer Science, Data Science, Cybersecurity, Maths and Statistics
• Business: Commerce. Finance, Accounting

As our Intern opportunities for engineering and science are residentially based near our mining operations or will require you to work on a Fly-In-Fly-Out (FIFO) roster, it is important that you’ll be willing to consider either of these arrangements to undertake an Intern role. Roles such as Technology and Finance will support our operations from our city locations, but they are never far from the action.
