Jefe de equipo en limpieza de áreas publicas. (Former Employee) - Olympic Dam, Roxby Down, SA, Australia - 2 February 2023

Le recomiendo encarecidamente a BHP que continúe fomentando un ambiente inclusivo y global para sus equipos de trabajo. La diversidad y la experiencia internacional de los miembros del equipo son una gran ventaja para la empresa y contribuyen en gran medida a la calidad de la experiencia de los clientes. Además, fomentar un ambiente de trabajo positivo y colaborativo es esencial para mantener el compromiso y la motivación de los empleados a largo plazo.

BHP OS Goonyella Riverside was a terrible place to work at, Management turnover was high, incompetent Managers and Superintendents.

Field Service Technician (Former Employee) - Moranbah QLD - 29 December 2022

Repair and maintenance of Diggers and Drills.No OEM training whatsoever, except for those who sucked up to management.Managers and Superintendents that didn't know what they were doing.A work culture that wanted you to dob on your work mates, forced everyone to get the Jab.Most enjoyable part of working there, driving out of the gate at the end of your roster and quitting the job.

Pros

If you sucked up to the Manager and superintendent, it made life a little easier

Cons

Poor organisation, Poor planning, waste resources

Very large and sometimes difficult to navigate

Commissioning Engineer (Current Employee) - Western Australia - 9 May 2022

As with many large organizations silo working is the norm. Teams do not communicate much, it is hard to establish a good relation with other people, there is always a feeling of alienation. Not much technical challenge if you are an engineer.Otherwise easy relaxed environment, good remuneration and side benefits, nice offices.

A safe place to work but no chance to advance

Heavy Duty Diesel Mechanic (Current Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 24 November 2021

I work in a very secure position and don’t think I’ll find myself without a job. But if you’re young like me and still have lots to learn it is NOT the place to be. I haven’t learned anything in a long time and am now looking into other jobs.

Pros

Bonuses and share programmes

Cons

No chance for skill advancements

Company is destroyed

Technology (Former Employee) - Australia - 9 September 2021

BHP has slowly been destroyed from the inside. Getting anything done is next to impossible. So much red tape and pointless process. God help you if you ever have a problem with pays or anything else of that personal nature. Try getting in touch with HR. Seriously ring the HR number to see what BHP has actually become for their own employees. Don't believe the glossy brochures or TV ads, this company has gone from great to an absolute dogs breakfast in the last decade.

Pros

Money

Cons

The urge to stab oneself in the face

Fun place to work

Production Technician (Former Employee) - Pilbara WA - 4 August 2021

Be punctual, be alert on safety and hazards, be aware of your work areas, be clear in your verbal correspondence to radio control communications, be nice to people, attitudes saves lives , your safety is others safety

Pros

Beautiful comfortable mining atmosphere everything you need is in camp

Cons

Hours are long But reasonable personal issues from home life can interfere, talking to your management is the best insurance of safety and awareness

No experienced workers left to learn from.

Supervisor, Mining, Training department, Fixed plant and blast crew (Former Employee) - Pilbara sites - 26 July 2021

22 years around and with BHP in various leadership and front line roles. Not a good work place for males of any age. Too many people trying to get out of there current job role so no accountability and no experienced workers left to help with on job coaching. Great place to learn how to get out of work and no leader support for help because they have no experience doing the tasks. Imagine going to school to learn how to rebuild and engine and your teacher is a qualified hairdresser. What you see on the posters, ads and public propaganda is far from what the company does for its people. The pay and stability were the only things BHP had going for it now both are gone. Pay has slowly dropped to not even competitive and stability has gone because leaders discipline workers for speaking up out of frustration for having no direction or competent senior people to get training from.

Pros

It’s a job if you can’t get another one.

Cons

No support, no one to learn from money is terrible for how long your away from home, long work hrs for anyone outside of an office.

What is said and what is done are often different

Supply Manager (Former Employee) - Perth WA - 7 May 2021

A company full of high paid engineers and clicky senior managers. Their mammoth size allows them to get away with it.Culturally very poor. They are lucky they have good people on the ground doing the actual grunt work while more senior managers have no idea.
