About Rio Tinto
Rio Tinto is a leading global mining and materials company.

We operate in 35 countries where we produce iron ore, copper, aluminium, critical minerals, and other materials needed for the global energy transition and for people, communities, and nations to thrive.

We have been mining for 150 years and operate with knowledge built up across generations and continents.

Our purpose is finding better ways to provide the materials the world needs - striving for innovation and continuous improvement to produce materials with low emissions and to the right environmental, social and governance standards.

But we can't do it on our own, so we're focused on creating partnerships to solve problems, create win-win and meet opportunities.


Where you'll be working


Our Gove site in Australia's Northern Territory has been supplying the global aluminium industry with world-class bauxite for more than 40 years.


Gove bauxite is shipped internationally as well as domestically to supply Queensland Alumina Limited and Yarwun refineries in Gladstone, Queensland.

These refineries produce alumina as feedstock for our Australian aluminium smelting operations and for sale on the international market.


We expect our bauxite mining operations in the Gove Peninsula will cease later this decade and we are doing significant work to support closure of the operation.
