Whether she's working on our heavy equipment 🔧 or getting out and exploring on the weekends 🚙, Keely loves getting her hands dirty 🙌🏻. As an apprentice heavy diesel fitter at our Mackay Future Fit Academy, her favourite part of the job is the constant hands-on learning and the work-life balance. "There's always a different part of the machine to learn, tear down, diagnose or fix. The work-life balance is also a great benefit. I love throwing a line in the water and getting the rig dirty exploring different tracks around the area." #careers #mining #queensland

"It's nice to have a partner who completely understands what's going on and has your back." 🖐🏽 Meet Anneka and Nina, our job-sharing product managers who know that two heads are better than one. 📈 Anneka is a mine site cost accountant who wanted to work part time to spend more time with her two young boys, while still progressing her career. 👷♀️ Nina is a geologist who wanted to truly 'switch off' when she wasn't working so she could spend more time getting creative and connecting with her family. #jobshare #flexibleworking #BHP

Meet Caitlyn and Sophia, our very own sister act. 👩🏻🤝👩🏼 With Caitlyn working as a Supervisor at Peak Downs and Sophia a Mine Controller at the Integrated Remote Operations Centre in Brisbane, it’s a special treat when they get to work together in person. “Our dad has been in mining since we were little kids, and as I was growing up with Caitlyn I couldn’t help but look up to her,” says Sophia. “I love working with her because she shows me every day that you can achieve anything you set your mind too with the right attitude and the right values.” For Caitlyn, the respect and excitement is mutual. “It’s always fun when anyone from mine control comes to site, but I really enjoy it when I get the chance to work with Sophia – she’s super intelligent and always wants to help others achieve their production goals.” #mining #queensland #womeninmining

"You should listen, ask questions, and embrace the journey." This is the advice offered by Phil, a Heavy Diesel Mechanic from our team at Olympic Dam. Phil began his career as a diesel mechanic in 1994 and has witnessed the remarkable evolution of machinery over the years. He has worked with everything from the LD005, an open cab Caterpillar 980, to the newest LD100, which he recently oversaw as it made its inaugural descent underground. Phil is particularly enthusiastic about the possibilities presented by new hybrid diesel-electric loaders, stating, "I simply enjoy machinery. It's as straightforward as that; even on my days off, I find myself working on something!" #olympicdam #southaustralia #electric

👏 Escondida starts environmental processing to have transportation system based on an electric trolley. 👏 About the project, Alejandro Tapia, President of Escondida, said that "the electric trolley system is one of the initiatives with which we seek to move towards a safer and more sustainable way of operating hand in hand with technology. This project will allow us to reduce the fuel consumption of our extraction trucks and thus advance our goal of net zero operational greenhouse gas emissions by 2050."

Meet Karen, one of our Specialist Trainers at Newman, Western Australia. After working in the education sector for almost two decades, she decided to swap the toy trucks for the real deal and hasn’t looked back! “Working in mining had never crossed my mind but I thought ‘why not give it a go?’ It’s opened my eyes to new skills and learning and gives me a real sense of accomplishment at the end of the day.” And Karen’s advice if you’re looking for a change of scenery later in your career? “Age is no barrier. You can make a career change in your 40’s if you like – I did! Now I feel more confident than ever and like I can try anything without being fearful. This role has changed my life.” #careersinmining #womeninmining #BHP
