Liana
Supervisor Drill Control
“I finally just got appointed as supervisor in the role that I was seconded into. I've just been offered the job full time so I'm happy, I'm where I want to be. Career development for me means where you want to see yourself in say five years, 10 years, and having these aspirations to work towards.”

Ellie
Superintendent Mine Operations
"Since being a graduate student I’ve gone through 5-6 different roles now and just the variety that you can shift through different stages that you get to go through in mining is not something I’ve herd of happen in different industries. When the values of the company’s values align to yourself it makes all the difference."

Fiona
Superintendent Rail Control
"I love what I do and I love the people that I work with as well, a lot of different personalities. Mostly I do love the challenge that it brings. We could be in a problem solving session working with other teams to try and figure out how are we going to move these trains or how are we going to achieve our targets? And ultimately, help BHP achieve their purpose. For me, that kind of is what gets me sort of out of bed and here every day.”

James

"My role as a superintendent is to empower my supervisors and then they can empower their crew to get the best results we can. I'm very passionate about developing my crew into step-up supervisors and then into supervisors. I think BHP really looks after their people well. Been here for 13 years. I plan on staying for at least another 13 years.”
