As a key member of our Field Services team, you will support BHP's major operational sites across the Pilbara, including Newman, South Flank, Area C, Jimblebar and Yandi.

This role operates on a Fly In Fly Out (FIFO) basis from Perth, with a roster of 8 days on, 6 days off, followed by 7 nights on and 7 nights off, providing a balanced work‐life structure.
* Perform planned and breakdown maintenance, servicing, and repairs on heavy diesel equipment, particularly Liebherr 9400, Liebherr 996, Liebherr 9600 and occasionally Epiroc PV‐271, Epiroc D65.
* Diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair mechanical faults to ensure equipment reliability and safety.
* Set up and pack down the fully mobile workshop on‐site, supporting the roving team's self‐sufficiency and adaptability.
* Work outdoors in variable Pilbara conditions, maintaining strong environmental awareness.
* Contribute to safety compliance and adhere to OH&S standards in a mining environment.
* Support a positive, team‐oriented and safety‐focused work culture.
What We're Looking For
* Proven experience as a Diesel Fitter working on Liebherr, Hitachi, or Cat heavy machinery.
* Advanced skills in hydraulic tuning on Liebherr diggers are highly valued.
* Ability to perform maintenance and repairs in a field environment.
* Comfort working outdoors in varied Pilbara conditions.
* Strong mechanical problem‐solving skills and the ability to work efficiently within a tight‐knit team.
* Flexibility and physical stamina to support packing and transportation of workshop equipment.
* A positive, can‐do attitude suited to a fast‐paced, ever‐changing work setting.
Why Join Us?
* Competitive salaries and benefits: including discounted health insurance, novated leasing and many more.
* SharePlus Employee Share Plan: Employees can purchase BHP shares and receive a one‐for‐one match after a minimum holding period.
* Strong Recognition Culture: BHP has a global recognition program ("Big Thanks") that celebrates achievements, milestones, and values‐based contributions.
* Work‐life balance and lifestyle benefits: BHP emphasizes lifestyle support, offering flexible work arrangements, FIFO opportunities, and various leave options to maintain balance during your career.
