Port Hedland plays a major role in the Pilbara and Western Australia’s economy, driven by the world’s largest bulk export port and its importance to Australia’s iron ore exports.
Located in the east of the Pilbara region on Kariyarra Country, it is defined by a striking coastal landscape, a strong community spirit, and a deep connection to the resources industry.
As one of Western Australia’s Seven Cities, Port Hedland will build on its existing strengths and new opportunities including being a strategic global logistics gateway and critical economic hub for Western Australia.
A number of projects have been delivered or are underway across Port Hedland and the East Pilbara, to create local jobs, strengthen communities and improve infrastructure across the region.
If you want to learn more about the jobs available in the regions, visit WA Jobs and Workforce Hub to search for WA Government jobs.
You can also visit TAFE Western Australia to explore the range of courses available, including fee free and low fee courses, and find pathways into careers in emerging and in-demand industries.
