About Copper SA Operations at BHP

BHP is a global resources company operating across more than 90 locations worldwide. Through Copper South Australia (Copper SA), we are building a leading copper portfolio that supports the global energy transition, supplying materials essential for renewable energy, electric vehicles and digital infrastructure.

For you, this is an exciting opportunity to grow your career, make a meaningful impact, and help shape the future of one of Australia's leading copper businesses.

About the Role

As an Entry-Level Underground Miner, you'll be considered for a range of underground opportunities, including Truck Operator, Nipper, OR General Service Miner, based on your skills, aptitude and operational requirements.

No prior mining experience is required. We'll provide the training, support and development to help you build the skills needed for a rewarding long-term career at BHP.

In these roles, you will gain hands-on experience in:

Operating large mining equipment, including Toyota Landcruiser 4wd manual vehicles, trucks, Rock Breakers (Excavator) and integrated tool carriers (ITs)

Installing and maintaining critical infrastructure that supports underground operations

Working alongside drills and other heavy mining equipment

Operating safely in dynamic underground environments, including working at heights

Supporting production and underground mining activities

Working a 7/7 lifestyle roster (7 days on, 7 days off, 7 nights on, 7 nights off) consisting of rotating 12-hour shifts based at Olympic Dam.

If you are based in Adelaide or regional South Australia and have established work experience in any industry, we encourage you to apply.

Important Considerations

Some opportunities involve physically demanding tasks, including lifting, pushing and pulling, and all roles require the ability to work safely in an underground mining environment.

As operating manual vehicles forms part of underground mining activities, candidates will be expected to hold a driver's licence / demonstrate the ability to confidently operate a manual vehicle.

About You

Minimum 2+ years’ work experience in any industry

Valid driver’s license and ability to operate a manual vehicle prior to joining BHP

Strong work ethic and willingness to learn

Team player with a safety-first mindset

Ability to adapt to shift work and time away from home

Vibrant village lifestyle with a modern tavern, golf simulators and regular social events that make it easy to connect and build community

Strong focus on wellbeing, with a fully equipped gym, outdoor courts, plus yoga, Pilates and personal trainers on site

Great food experience, including varied menus and themed dining nights that bring people together

Easy access to everyday essentials, with daily bus services to local township of Roxby Downs for shopping, healthcare and more

Ongoing investment in facilities, creating a comfortable, safe and constantly improving place to live while you grow your career

If you’re ready for a career that offers growth, stability, and great rewards, apply now and start your journey underground with BHP.

Job applications close on 18th September 2026.
