Senior Advisor CSP Studies

Senior Advisor CSP Studies

• Be instrumental in delivering CSP requirements within our business
• Permanent employment which includes a huge range of additional benefits
• Perth based roles

Our approach to Communities and Social Performance (CSP) is to build strong partnerships based on a relationship of mutual trust and respect.

Where we’re all welcome

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 who we are.

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 acknowledge that all people are different and believe that our differences are our strength. The diversity of skills, life experiences and perspectives within our team enhances our way of working and our ability to achieve success together.
