BHP to cut about 300 jobs at Pilbara iron ore operations
BHP has confirmed job cuts at its Western Australian iron ore operations in the Pilbara region.
About 300 jobs are expected to be affected across South Flank, Mining Area C, Jimblebar and Newman.
The cuts involve several of BHP’s Pilbara mining operations, a major iron ore-producing area.

It will also seek to redeploy workers into other roles where possible.
