How you can make a difference

At Rio Tinto, we find, mine and process the earth's mineral resources that fulfil vital consumer needs and improve world living standards. We've had a hand in just about every product you use. Even if it's not mined and manufactured but grown and harvested, it probably reached you through an infrastructure made of metal.

By working with us, you'll be helping to produce minerals and metals that contribute to society's needs; that create wealth to support community infrastructure, health care and education programmes; and that deliver financial dividends for our shareholders. You'll also be part of an organisation whose activities provide the means and opportunity to develop new approaches to solving the world's environmental and human development challenges, such as climate change and poverty.

We look for people to work with us who share our core values: Accountability, Respect, Teamwork and Integrity. Our reputation stems from these four values - they define the essence of who are and who we will be.

As a leading international business, we employ people worldwide and in a multitude of roles at our operations and corporate offices. We have opportunities for science and technology graduates in fields such as mining, geology, metallurgy and engineering. We also need people to work in commercial positions, and people whose skills include environmental management, community relations, and health and safety. And we employ people in a wide variety of other roles, supporting our businesses in areas such as finance, law, IT, human resources, procurement, logistics and communications.

We're looking for inspirational graduates and in return we'll help you realise your potential. We'll give you the ability to make decisions, so that you can make a real difference.

At Rio Tinto, the world is what you make of it. It's up to you how far and how fast your career progresses with us. The opportunities are there; you just have to grab them.
