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 almost 150 years and operate with knowledge built up across generations and continents. Our purpose is to find 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.

We are committed to an inclusive environment where people feel comfortable being 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.

Reviews
Designing and drafting using software as per the standard and specification for the subdivision projects which includes earthworks, road works, stormwater drainage, sewer and water.
My role currently varies as a graduate but I am always satisfied and enjoy learning new skills and taking on new responsibilities.
My role changes as I am a graduate. If I am on site, I can expect to participate in the morning meetings, complete any actions that may arise from those meetings, and then get started on the improvement projects I am working on. Throughout the day, if there is a breakdown, we can be approached to provide technical support. Typically I will go into the plant at least once a day to do some inspections or investigate an issue.

Pros and cons of working at Rio Tinto
Pros
There are more possibilities for pathways than you can imagine… every semester you get to explore a different part of the business.
Every leader I've been assigned to has displayed that they want me to succeed as an individual.
The graduate program spans two years, during which you'll receive the training needed to perform your future role effectively.
The cultures instilled into the employees are Care, Courage, and Curiosity… we are cared for as individuals and our well-being is looked after.
Competitive pay and bonuses for this stage in my career… 4.5-9 months of parental leave and free private health insurance.
Cons
Some of the onboarding experience can be arduous, particularly for those unfamiliar with the processes involved.
Like all large companies, Rio Tinto is not exempt from internal politics.
Due to the size, communication can sometimes be an issue, and it’s easy to get lost in the crowd.
Perth office culture can be dull compared to the on-site culture.
On-site hours are long, with the usual 12-hour shifts.
