Where you will be working

Energy Resources of Australia Ltd (ERA) is a publicly listed company with Rio Tinto its major shareholder. ERA previously mined and produced uranium oxide from its Ranger mine in the beautiful and rugged Alligator Rivers area of the Northern Territory. The Ranger mine is located on Aboriginal land, and is surrounded by, but separate from Kakadu National Park.

ERA ceased mining and processing activities on the Ranger Project Area in January 2021 and the final rehabilitation is underway. The Ranger Mine Closure Project rehabilitates the Ranger Project Area to a standard whereby it could be incorporated into the Kakadu National Park.
