About Potash

The Jansen project in Saskatchewan, Canada is set to become one of the largest potash mines in the world and is located approximately 140 kilometres east of Saskatoon. BHP’s CAD$14 billion (US$10.5 billion) investment in the Jansen project will deliver a potash mine in Saskatchewan designed to maximise sustainability. As the largest investment in Saskatchewan’s history, Jansen is expected to generate approximately 5,500 workforce opportunities during construction and 900 long‑term roles. Jansen's construction will take place over several years with first production planned for mid‑2027. Once fully ramped up, Jansen is expected to have an initial production capacity of approximately 8.5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa), with the potential to produce 16 to 17 Mtpa in future stages.

• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to define initial data requirements.
• Work with stakeholders to understand data needs and ensure alignment across teams.

• Convert data requirements into effective reporting to drive performance management and improvements.
• Support troubleshooting and problem‑solving related to data inconsistencies.
• Support the transition from set‑up to ongoing data governance and continuous improvement.
• Apply an understanding of the business context, BHP operating model and ways of working to enhance decision making, productivity and value‑chain performance.

About You

To be considered, you will need:

• A diploma or degree in data management, business analytics, or a related field; or equivalent knowledge through practical experience.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to work across teams to define data requirements and troubleshoot inconsistencies.
• Proficient with data tools (e.g., SQL, Power BI, Python or similar) to support data cleansing, formatting, validation, and reporting.
• Experience working with cross‑functional teams to define and align on data requirements in an environment where data governance or accuracy is critical to decision‑making.
• Exposure to data quality assessment and cleansing in a business or technical environment.
• Hands‑on involvement in setting up or supporting data integration between systems (e.g., SAP, Snowflake, Excel).
• Experience with software such as SAP and AVEVA PI for reporting and analysis.
