About Rio Tinto

Every idea, every innovation, every little thing the world calls ‘progress’ begins with a first step, and someone willing to take it: explorers, inventors, entrepreneurs. Pioneers.

For nearly 150 years, Rio Tinto has been a company of pioneers – generations of people spanning the globe, all with the grit and vision to produce materials essential to human progress.

Our iron ore has shaped skylines from Shanghai to Sydney. Our aluminium – the world’s first to be certified “responsible” – helps planes fly and makes cars lighter. Our copper helps wind turbines power cities and our boron helps feed the world and explore the universe.

Our diamonds help us celebrate the best parts of life.

Where you will be working

Our Gove Operations have been supplying the global aluminium industry with world-class bauxite for more than 50 years. Located in Australia’s Northern Territory, each year the operation produces approximately 12 million tonnes of bauxite.

The site’s alumina refinery and associated Residue Disposal Area ceased production in 2017 and are actively being remediated. The bauxite mine is expected to cease production later this decade. We recognise this work is taking place on Indigenous-owned land, and we are committed to working together to achieve a positive future for Nhulunbuy and the Gove Peninsula post-mining.

Rio Tinto Closure (RTC) safely transforms Rio Tinto’s end of life mining, processing, and infrastructure assets by developing innovative and sustainable solutions to leave a positive closure legacy. We collaborate with all parts of Rio Tinto to focus on maximising post operational opportunities, de-risking and reducing the scale of closure liabilities and executing existing and near-term closures at optimal cost.

Every Voice Matters

At Rio Tinto, we particularly welcome and encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, women, the LGBTI+ community, mature workers, people with disabilities and people from different cultural backgrounds.

We are committed to an inclusive environment where people feel comfortable to be themselves. We want our people to feel that all voices are heard, all cultures respected and that a variety of perspectives are not only welcome – they are essential to our success. We treat each other fairly and with dignity regardless of race, gender, nationality, ethnic origin, religion, age, sexual orientation, or anything else that makes us different.

Applications close on Friday 17^th February 2023 (Rio Tinto reserves the right to remove advertised roles prior to this date).
