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


Rio Tinto's Innovation, Science & Technology Group (ISTG) is committed to advancing the frontiers of mining technology and finding better ways.

By bringing together the best in talent and ideas, combined with fast decision making, we are committed to accelerating and incubating the highest value innovation projects for Rio Tinto, the mining or adjacent industries and our value chains.


Every Voice Matters
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.
