I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BHP in Sept 2017
Interview
The interviewers were easy to talk to and down to earth. They wanted to make sure you knew what you were talking about, though, so questions were asked more and more in depth so they could follow your train of thought.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The big questions were about technical knowledge and experience
Virtual interview with video question and answer and mind games which assess mathematical and ability, and ability to solve problems. This is followed by an online face to face interview with your prospective line leader.
I applied online. I interviewed at BHP (Perth, Western Australia) in Feb 2026
Interview
hirevue interview, 5 behaviour questions, followed by 3 cognitive test puzzles. You are then graded by the NLP model and assigned scores out of 5, and placed into tiers which determine whether you are reviewed by a human and move on or are straight up binned

I applied in-person. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at BHP (Adelaide) in Jun 2025
Interview
Friendly and patient interviewer. 15 minutes longer than expected . The signal in the mine is not very good
It's not very long, it's more about sharing experiences with each other. We have very positive interactions and feedback.
