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 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’ll be workingRio Tinto endeavours to have a positive impact on local communities and the natural environment during an asset’s life. Given the finite nature of ore bodies, the permanent cessation of operations is part of every mining asset’s life cycle. Smelters and refineries may also have finite lives due to their viability being impacted by changing markets, regulations and supply costs. The legacy we leave post operations is a key measure of our contribution to sustainable development, and fundamental to maintaining Rio Tinto’s reputation and partnership to operate.

The aim of Rio Tinto’s closure work is to minimise the financial, social and environmental risks and liabilities associated with permanently ceasing operations. This requires a multi-disciplinary approach at all stages of the life of an asset. Rio Tinto Closure (RTC) is a dedicated business unit with a commercial, project and operational mind-set focussed on supporting the above work and providing central leadership in closure across Rio Tinto. Closed and Legacy assets may exist as liabilities for Rio Tinto well beyond the period of time during which an asset was operated. The retained documents and artefacts, whether physical, digital or otherwise, are the only sources available to understand the operations, agreements and liabilities.

In order to improve the Rio Tinto Group’s ability to retain and find documentation related to our future liabilities, The Closure Knowledge & Information Management team work to preserve and liberate existing data and knowledge, and establish best practise principles to guide and influence the behaviour of our assets when capturing and storing knowledge and information. Our aim is that everyone at Rio Tinto can access relevant knowledge in order to learn from our past, understands the impact of our activities and decisions, and meets our stakeholder commitments.

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.
