**Principal Advisor - Steel Decarbonisation Technology Modelling and Analysis**
- Join our global leading business offering outstanding personal development & global career opportunities
- Permanent employment which includes a huge range of additional benefits
- Lead our modelling and analysis efforts
- Real meaningful and impactful work in a mining giant
- Based in Perth - CBD

**About the role**

**Finding better ways to provide the materials the world needs.**

The decarbonisation of the steel industry between now and future is likely to change the iron ore supply chain as we know it. The next 20 years will see the largest and fastest change in iron and steelmaking technology the industry has seen in decades. Positioning Rio Tinto as sustainability leaders is key in realising our ambitions, strategy and growth agenda. The Steel Decarbonisation team is at the forefront of this and will shape pathways for Rio Tinto’s iron ores in a decarbonised iron and steelmaking future.

The purpose of the Rio Tinto Steel Decarbonisation (RTSD) team is to:

- Protect the long-term value of Rio Tinto’s iron ore through development and scale up of cost-effective technologies that utilise our iron ores in the future low-carbon steel industry
- To position Rio Tinto to participate in the nascent green iron market, and
- To provide steel decarbonisation analysis and intelligence to support decisions on Rio Tinto’s future iron ore resource portfolio, product strategy, and renewable energy development.

Success will be driven through the development and execution of a pipeline of technical and commercial options, developed through deep partnerships across the value chain from ore body to steel end users

We are recruiting for a **Principal Advisor - Technology Modelling and Analysis** to join our steel decarbonisation team

The primary accountability of the role is to lead the development of comprehensive Carbon abatement modelling of the steel value chain including management of operating and capital costs data for DRI technologies and other low carbon iron and steel-making technologies as they emerge.

The role is critical in understanding, assessing, modelling and costing different technologies and projects which are generic or customer specific. Interrogation of the model assumptions and optimisation of the models to identify development opportunities, reduce costs or improve revenue will require a thorough understanding of steel industry costs and VIU modelling.

Reporting to the GM - Steel Decarbonisation Pacific, you will:

- Lead the development of comprehensive abatement models for steel value chain to understand “green” project potential.
- Work with Rio Tinto Economics to integrate “green” steelmaking models into forecasting tools
- Engage with external organisations to ensure that Rio Tinto’s modelling perspectives are understood and integrated into external “green steel” models, eg NZSI
- Deliver feasibility level assessments of industry steel decarb projects as SME.
- Maintain engineering and operational cost estimates for abatement technologies across regions to ensure consistency.
- Develop and maintain next best alternative value models for key components in the low carbon steel value chain (eg BioMass, DR pellets, steel plant byproducts, etc.)
- Deliver product value in use analysis for low carbon technologies and align with internal stakeholders.
- Provide technical input into the formulation of the product group and commercial strategies including, product strategy, strategic asset assessments, customer segmentation and business value propositions.
- Work closely with Iron Ore product group teams to provide context and insights from the modelling to help inform decisions.
- Liaise with other technical teams to understand parallel and steel relevant opportunities/challenges (i.e ELYSIS)
- Using model insights, support Business Development in steel decarbonisation, company and iron ore product strategy

**What you’ll bring**

To be successfully considered for this role, you will have:

- Relevant tertiary qualifications in a technical discipline including metallurgical/chemical/process engineering and finance/economics
- A minimum of 10 years combined operational, and commercial experience
- Knowledge of the full iron ore value chain from orebody evaluation through to crude steel is essential
- Understanding of adjacent markets and their influence on decarbonisation pathways (i.e coal)
- Proven abilities in navigating and operating successfully in a matrix organization, with stakeholders’ engagement and business partnering skills being key requisites
- Demonstrated experience in project management, and working through a networked organisation in achieving results
- Ability to multitask, prioritise and organise a number of concurrent projects under tight time pressure.
- The ability to pivot as market and/or organisation requirements dictate to capture and present both opportunities o
