About Newmont 

Newmont produces metals the world needs - safely, responsibly and with care for people, communities and the environment. With a 100+ year history, we continue to shape the future of mining through innovation and strong operational performance. By joining our inclusive, world-class team, you can help shape the future of mining and make a meaningful difference.

Boddington is a flagship Newmont gold and copper operation in Western Australia, located about 130 kilometres south-east of Perth and 16 kilometres from the rural town of Boddington.

This large open-pit mine is among Australia’s biggest gold producers and in 2021 it became the world’s first gold mine to implement an Autonomous Haulage System (driverless haul trucks) – a pioneering step for safety and innovation.

As a drive-in, drive-out site, our people can live in the south-west region and enjoy a great work-life balance while working with leading technology. Boddington’s team culture is built on a safety-first mindset and continuous improvement. We operate responsibly and take pride in our community partnerships – including working closely with local Traditional Owners – as we create sustainable value in the region.
