Graduates

Today's graduates will shape tomorrow's businesses. If you have vision and career aspirations, BHP Billiton can help you realise them.

We recruit graduates from a variety of degree disciplines, including:

• Business – Accounting, Commerce, Commerce/Law and Human Resource Management

Applications for the BHP Billiton Foundations for Graduates Program in Australia opened on Australia Day, 26 January 2009, and will close on Monday, 13 April 2009. Students studying Geology, Metallurgy, Minerals Process Engineering, Mining Engineering or Surveying are encouraged to submit their applications as promptly as possible as we plan to run Assessment Centres for those specific disciplines in late March.

BHP Billiton currently operates in approximately 25 countries. As part of our global business strategy we are looking at increasing our presence in Africa, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mongolia and Russia. If you live and currently work in any of these regions, see International Graduate Recruitment Program for information.

BHP Billiton is committed to attracting and retaining the very best people to build and achieve its vision. People who are resourceful, innovative and career-minded. People who share their knowledge and skills, who accept responsibility and who embrace and shape the future.

We also look for people who share our Charter values and our commitment to Sustainable Development - people who always think ahead.

We offer truly global careers and give graduates the opportunity to experience a wide variety of operating environments.
