About BHP

As part of our vision to improve our business every day through safety improvements, innovation and people development, BHP is on a technology journey. This will radically transform our way of working, leading us to embrace change and develop organisational excellence.

BHP has recently made the decision to implement Autonomous Haulage at South Flank. As a result of this transformation, new roles to support Autonomous Haulage Systems have been created. This includes the creation of Specialist OT Operations TROC positions.

Do you want to be part of this exciting transition?

Location

Whilst the Specialist OT Operations TROC positions will ultimately be Perth based, for the execution of the Autonomous Haulage deployment, these roles are required to be temporarily based on site initially (for a period of approximately 18-24 months).

For the site-based execution phase, you will enjoy a family friendly 8/6, 7/7 FIFO roster. After this, the position will work on our Lifestyle Roster based in Perth, working a pattern of days and nights, with a block of days off at the end of each swing.

Employees on this Lifestyle roster enjoy two full weekends off out of four and will align to the following shift rotation: 2D2N5X, 2D3N4X, 3D2N5X. Shifts are 12.5 hours including handover and you will benefit from additional shift allowances, as part of your remuneration package.

As an added benefit, those on a Lifestyle Roster will also enjoy an additional week of annual leave per year.

The Specialist OT Operations roles are members of the Technology Remote Operations Centre (TROC), located and embedded within the mine control locations.
