Superintendent Projects

About BHP

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.

About Potash and the Jansen Project

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. With a CAD$14 billion (US$10.5 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. With first production planned for late 2026, Jansen offers the chance to contribute to a legacy project from the ground up.

Why BHP?

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.

The Challenge Ahead

As Superintendent Projects, you will play a critical leadership role in ensuring BHP’s systems, processes, and capital portfolio deliver safe, productive, and value driven outcomes. You will be accountable for developing, prioritizing, and assuring a rolling two year capital portfolio that balances value creation, risk reduction, and operational continuity.

Working within the Asset Engineering function, you will collaborate closely with Governance & Technical Stewardship, Operations, Integrated Operations, Planning & Technical, Environment, and Health, Safety and Security teams. This role requires strong stakeholder leadership, disciplined portfolio governance, and a commitment to continuous improvement across a complex, site based environment.

•    Lead and oversee a team of project resources to deliver the capital portfolio, managing costs, resourcing, performance, and delivery commitments. 
•    Ensure safe, accurate project plans and schedules are in place to support production and asset priorities. 
•    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. 

What You'll Bring To The Role

•    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. 
•    Demonstrated experience managing a capital portfolio, including sustaining capital projects and stage gated project processes. 
•    Capability to lead and coordinate small to medium sized teams, including internal and external resources. 
•    Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate across multiple teams. 
•    Highly organized, with excellent communication, relationship building, and influencing skills. 

Work Location

This role is based at the Jansen Mine Site in Leroy, Saskatchewan, working Monday to Friday, 40 hours per week. As this position is not eligible for camp accommodation, you will need to live within a reasonable commuting distance of the site.

Flexibility to work from the Saskatoon office for a period prior to relocating is available. Domestic relocation assistance may be provided, including support such as temporary accommodation, home finding assistance, and a resettlement allowance, where applicable.
