    Leighton Holdings Ltd (ASX:LEI) has scored a $166 million contract at BHP Billiton Ltd’s (ASX:BHP) Jimblebar mine in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.



    Leighton’s subsidiary Thiess Pty Ltd will provide bulk earthworks, drainage and civil structures, road works and buried services to the mine. 



    The contract starts immediately and work is scheduled to be completed by the end of July 2012.



    Thiess says the latest contract continues its relationship with BHP and maintains its longstanding presence in the Pilbara, adding that it is well positioned for future civil works contracts in the region.



    In the six months to 31 December 2010, Leighton Holdings generated a net profit of $218 million.
