BHP says it has redeployed over 700 Nickel West workers following suspension

BHP says it has made redeployment offers to hundreds of workers following the suspension of its Nickel West arm.

The Big *********** in early July announced it would place its WA Nickel business — led by Jessica Farrell — into a ******* of care and maintenance until at least 2027, a decision that impacted 3000 jobs.

BHP Australia president Geraldine Slattery at the time said every frontline employee would be offered another role within BHP.

Ms Farrell confirmed it had now made redeployment offers to over 700 people and that it continued to work through it everyday.

“We committed to our frontline people that if you wanted a job with BHP, you would get one,” she said.

BHP’s nickel interests in WA mainly encompasses the Nickel West portfolio as well as the under-construction West Musgrave project it picked up as part of the OZ Minerals acquisition.

Ms Farrell also said it was working hand-in-hand with the Goldfields community to design a $20 million community fund aimed “to support local communities” during the suspension.

“Our first workshop was incredibly insightful, with valuable ideas to help make sure it provides the support the community needs,” she said.
