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.

About the role

Finding better ways to provide the materials the world needs.

We are looking for experienced Heavy Mobile Equipment Diesel Fitters to join our friendly and high performing Heavy Equipment Maintenance team based at either Andoom or our newest operation Amrun. You’ll maintain the site’s heavy mobile equipment and ancillary fleet to ensure this critical equipment is available to meet operational requirements. This role is interesting as you’ll be involved in most of the mid-lifes and overhauls as they are completed in their workshop rather than sending parts away to be fixed.

This is a fantastic opportunity for people with a strong work ethic, commitment to learning and a ‘can do’ attitude who are looking to live an incredible lifestyle with adventure and world-class water activities on your doorstep. With a supportive leadership team and a development plan in place, we’ll help you achieve success and progress your career. 

What you’ll bring

  • A commitment to the safety of yourself and your team  
  • Respect for others and an all-inclusive mindset
  • A C class drivers’ license  
  • Relevant HME Diesel Fitter qualification  
  • Experience in a workshop environment
  • The ability to communicate effectively within a team environment  
  • The ability to be flexible within the role and adapt to a changing environment 

If you are excited about the role and think you have what it takes but your experience doesn’t align 100% we still want to hear from you. 

We are committed to promoting diversity within Rio Tinto and as a special measure to we strongly encourage women to apply.

What we offer

  • Full relocation provided to Far North Queensland from elsewhere in Australia
  • Weipa accommodation benefit 
  • Remote area allowance

  • To better suit different family needs, our paid parental leave approach gives all parents the option to take 18 weeks of paid leave after a new child arrives – at a time that suits them
  • Exclusive employee discounts including hotel stays, banking, accommodation, cars, retail and more
