BHP has started shedding jobs in Australia as part of a major restructure of its global operations spanning mine planning to maintenance, logistics, decarbonisation and heritage protection.

Specialist teams are being disbanded to streamline the business and cut costs after chief executive Mike Henry said wage inflation in Australia was “especially problematic”.

 

Although the exact number of jobs lost remains unclear, the global reset will decentralise BHP’s white-collar support services and put more responsibility on individual commodity divisions to run themselves self-sufficiently.

BHP staff were informed of the changes, described by the company as a simplification, over the past 24 hours. A spokesman said: “As part of our continuous improvement in how we approach our work, we have made some changes to better align work activities within assets and support quicker decision making.”

The axe is already hanging over thousands of workers in BHP’s nickel operations in Western Australia and coincides with a softening in iron ore prices amid question marks over the outlook for the Chinese economy, the largest export market for iron ore.

 

BHP last month tapped Anna Wiley, who was head of asset management in the maintenance centre of excellence, to grow its Australian copper operations including Olympic Dam, Carrapateena and Prominent Hill mines.

Tim Day, previously in charge of the company’s global maintenance and engineering centre of excellence, was handed the task of running the WA iron ore operations that produced almost 80 per cent of BHP first-half underlying earnings.

In handing down its interim results on February 20, Mr Henry urged the Albanese government to get industrial relations policies right rather than offering subsidies and rescue packages in light of the rout in nickel prices  

BHP’s statutory profit fell to an eight-year low of $US927 million ($1.419 billion), saddled by nickel impairments, as Mr Henry signalled a focus on costs and renewed the company’s attack on IR policy.

As part of the reset, new teams – known as health, safety and security and separately planning, technical and environment – will be embedded in the mining businesses. That supervision previously rested with health, safety and environment, and separately planning and technical.

The mining businesses will also have carriage of maintenance planning and scheduling, previously part of BHP’s global technical arm. Likewise, they will take charge of warehousing and logistics, previously part of the global commercial arm

 

Major projects that fall under Minerals Australia will continue to be delivered through a national team, as will operational decarbonisation, previously the responsibility of planning and technical.

BHP has told staff each of the mining businesses will end up with a similar structure, but implementation will be different in each case.

Speaking at a BMO mining conference in Miami this week, Mr Henry said BHP’s ability to “walk and chew gum at the same time” was part of its success capitalising on a strategy designed to be resilient irrespective of the commodities cycle.

“Our near-term outlook for China remains cautious, and conditional on how quickly and effectively pro-growth policies impact the broader Chinese economy,” he said

BHP halts destruction of 40 sacred Aboriginal sites amid

www.newsbhp.com  @(newsbhp.com ) find  BHP  jobs  @ (jobbhp.com ) newsbhp.com  jobbhp.com

'We stand with all Aboriginal traditional owners

 

Mining giant BHP has announced it will place on hold plans to destroy dozens of sacred sites in WA as part of a major mine operation, following a national backlash over Rio Tinto's blasting of sacred sites in Western Australia's Pilbara.

Key points:

  • BHP applied for approval to destroy up to 40 heritage sites
  • The firm today said it would not disturb the sites without 'further consultation'
  • BHP struck a commercial agreement with the Banjima people in 2015

BHP had planned to destroy up to 40 sites sacred to the Banjima people to make way for its $4.5 billion South Flank mine, near Newman in WA's Pilbara.

The company was granted approval to do so by WA Aboriginal Affairs Minister Ben Wyatt on May 29.

This came just days after Rio Tinto's destruction of ancient rock shelters became public, prompting a national outcry and a public protest in Perth this  

But BHP today released a statement from a spokeswoman saying it was putting its plans on ice.

"We will not disturb the sites identified without further extensive consultation with the Banjima people," the statement said 

"That consultation will be based on our commitment to understanding the cultural significance of the region and on the deep respect we have for the Banjima people and their heritage.

"This will include further scientific study and discussion on mitigation and preservation."

The company noted it submitted what is known as a Section 18 application to destroy the sites in October last year following "extensive" consultation with the Banjima people over 15 years  

BHP's announcement marks a major development in what has become a loud protest movement against the destruction of sacred Aboriginal sites since the Rio blast.

The WA Government has described Section 18 of its Aboriginal Heritage Act as outdated and has been reviewing the legislation for some time.
