At BHP, we believe our purpose goes beyond mining: we work to improve lives and create a more sustainable future. We are a global resources company with operations in more than 90 locations worldwide.
In Canada, our presence is growing with the development of one of the most significant potash projects in the world, Jansen. This project reflects our long-term commitment to sustainability, community engagement, and economic growth.
Imagine being part of something truly world-class, something that’s shaping the future of sustainable agriculture and responsible resource development. That’s what the Jansen Potash Project offers.
Located about 140 kilometers east of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Jansen is set to become one of the largest and most sustainable potash mines on the planet. At approximately CAD$21 billion (US$15.3 billion) investment, it marks the biggest private investment in Saskatchewan’s history, and a bold step forward for BHP in Canada.
But Jansen is more than a mine; it’s a long-term opportunity to build something meaningful. During construction, it will create around 5,500 jobs, and once in operation, 900 permanent roles. Whether you're looking to grow your career, contribute to a sustainable future, or be part of a legacy project, Jansen could be the place where it all begins.
At BHP, we are transforming the way mining is done. We embrace innovation, sustainability, and inclusion to build a smarter, safer, and more human future.

• Identify and engage key stakeholders, understand their needs, manage expectations, and deliver outcomes across functional boundaries.
• Coach and empower team members through regular feedback, fostering an inclusive culture focused on learning and continuous improvement.
• Promote best practices, motivate others to identify improvement opportunities, and remove barriers to change through effective collaboration.
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or equivalent experience.
• Proven experience (10+ years) in the resource or energy sector, ideally within a site based environment and preferably in potash.
