| April 4, Wednesday, 12.30-2pm, GK 5-15 | Dr Karen Beck, Senior HR Advisor, Olympic Dam Expansion Project, BHP Billiton |
The Workforce planning issues of the Olympic Dam expansion project. BHP Billiton are currently exploring the feasibility of expanding the existing Olympic Dam mine fourfold, thus creating the world's second largest open pit mine. The pre-feasibility study is expected to cost $500 million, and the actual expansion around $5bn, with the expanded operation requiring at least 4,000 people in day-to-day operation. The mining sector is already experiencing extreme skill shortage - how will they find these additional employees? |
