BHP mulling job cuts and drive-in, drive-out in the Pilbara

Mining major BHP is reportedly looking to cut up to 700 jobs across Australia, with up to 200 job cuts expected from the Perth office, as the company works to simplify its business and streamline its processes.

“BHP is working to simplify its business and in its support functions we aim to streamline processes, remove duplication, bureaucracy and hierarchy to improve effectiveness of decision making and reduce time to implement and innovate,” a spokesperson for the company told Mining Weekly Online.
