The Digital Integrated Mine team has a long heritage within Rio Tinto, and its members have been involved with a large number of industry and world first developments at Rio Tinto over the last decade. Our team pursues the creation of new technologies throughout the mine - from supporting better orebody knowledge, drill and blast process, material movement, fleet optimisation and interfaces with fixed plant.

- Identifying where new technologies are required in existing modelling and grade control processes, and how those technologies may benefit.
- Identifying novel technologies from external companies that could be of benefit to Rio Tinto.
- Conducting well designed experiments on new technologies to critically assess them.
- Understanding how the technologies will impact the users and workflows currently used in the business, so that these can be adapted to both realise the benefits of the technologies and be accepted by the users in the business.
**About You**
Specifically, you will have:
- Commitment to the safety of yourself and your team
- A degree in a relevant STEM discipline (mathematics, physics, computer science). A PhD will be highly regarded.
