Specialist Production Accounting

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. 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. 

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. 

We are proud to be recognized as one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers for 2025, a testament to our dedication to fostering a positive, diverse, and rewarding work environment. At BHP, you’ll be part of a team that values safety, integrity, performance, and collaboration.

• Investigate and resolve discrepancies (plan vs. actual, system vs. system, mass balance gaps) using structured root cause analysis
• Implement and maintain controls to improve data quality and prevent recurrence of issues
• Identify and execute continuous improvement opportunities in production accounting processes, tools, and reporting
• Support implementation and stand-up of PA systems and tools, including data validation, process alignment, and transition from project phase to steady state
• Provide ad hoc analysis and reporting to support operational, planning, and leadership decision-making

What You’ll Bring to the Role
