BHP Billiton Is The World's Largest Diversified Resources Company Formed from a merger between BHP and Billiton, we bring together an exceptional mix of quality, low-cost resource assets, complemented by a strong management team determined to operate our assets in an efficient manner. Reflecting our aim to be a premier global company, we occupy industry leader or near industry leader positions in major commodity businesses, including aluminium, energy coal and metallurgical coal, copper, manganese, iron ore, uranium, nickel, silver and titanium minerals, and have substantial interests in oil, gas, liquefied natural gas and diamonds. We have around 39,000 employees and 60,000 contractors working in more than 100 operations across 25 countries, creating a great diversity of cultures and experiences. Many of our employees are based in Australia (42 per cent), Southern Africa (30 per cent) and South and North America (23 per cent). It is our people who discover, secure, develop and operate our assets and it is our people who get our products to our customers. Our people are the ones who work to find better ways to maximise the volumes we produce from our assets and to develop the technologies we rely on to improve our efficiency and access untapped resources. With operations and projects spanning the globe, we truly value diversity of culture, gender, thought and language, and have recruitment targets to meet these objectives. Our people are diverse by nature but unified in purpose. We expect our people to behave according to our Charter and to value the way we do business. A strong global commodities market means that great people are harder to find and employ than they once were. Like the resources industry generally, we are facing a shortage of technical and professional people. That means we have to work hard to ensure these people want to work with us. The best way to attract and retain talented people is to develop them. We put significant effort into assessment, development and succession planning to ensure our people are doing what they want to do and to ensure that they’re achieving their goals. Our compensation packages are globally competitive and strongly tied to performance, both short and long term. View Jobs for BHP Billiton
