Providing exceptional support to Rio Tinto worldwide
The Rio Tinto Technology and Innovation group provides collaborative support to Rio Tinto businesses worldwide. It assists all business units to improve operational performance through the implementation of leading practices and new technology.
Technology and Innovation has offices in Salt Lake City, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. In addition to work in these major cities, opportunities are available for site work and secondments with teams working in South Africa as well as other US and Australian locations.
Graduates who become part of this leading-edge team will have the opportunity to develop a broad range of skills by working on a diverse range of projects, and processes. The work involves both hands-on and technical aspects in which theory is applied to real-life mining situations.
Whether in an office, a laboratory or at a mine site, Technology and Innovation offers the chance to gain technical experience in a range of areas such as mineral processing, extractive metallurgy, mineralogy and tailings/dewatering before deciding on a specific business unit or specialisation.
Successful applicants will help to drive technical excellence in the mining and resources industry whilst gaining valuable exposure to a number of product groups and commodities.
Find a myriad of pleasures to occupy your leisure hours
With the possibility of inner-city life in Australia or the US, plus the chance of working at one of a number of diverse mine sites, defining lifestyle within Technology and Innovation isn't easy. It can almost be what you make it.
City lovers will find a vibrant, sophisticated cosmopolitan hub at the centre of all our office locations. Equally there are opportunities to get away and enjoy the surrounding countryside whether it be the salt flats and mountains of Utah, the Gold and Sunshine Coasts of Queensland, the Grampian Mountains and Dandenong Hills around Melbourne or the Margaret River wine region and championship surf breaks south of Perth.
Of course, you might find yourself working for Technology and Innovation in a remote part of southern Africa. Wherever you are, you will find a myriad of pleasures to occupy your leisure hours.
From haute couture to hang gliding; from wine tours to winter sports. From wildlife photography to whale watching; from cappuccino to classical concerts, anything could be on your doorstep when you join the Rio Tinto Technology and Innovation group.
