Rio Tinto seeking applicants for award-winning Graduate Program
February 26 2023 - 5:00PM
Business Wire
Rio Tinto has commenced a recruitment campaign for University
graduates from Australia and New Zealand, as it seeks to attract
the best and brightest minds across a range of disciplines,
including engineering, data science, advanced technology, business
and geology.
Commencing in early 2024, successful applicants will participate
in an award-winning two-year Graduate Development Program designed
to prepare graduates to lead, innovate and invent. The company is
seeking to recruit approximately 150 Australian and New
Zealand-based graduates out of a global program of 300 graduates.
Last year, Rio Tinto welcomed 261 graduates globally, with more
than half women and 130 based in Australia including 16% Indigenous
Australians.
During the program, graduates will be inspired by futurists and
external thought leaders from creative industries who will seek to
spark their imagination and inspire them to tackle problems and
create solutions in different ways.
Earlier this month, Rio Tinto’s Graduate Development Program won
the “Most Popular Mining & Energy Employer” award in
Australia’s GradConnection Top 100 Graduate Employer Awards for the
second year in a row.
Skye Tansley, a Rio Tinto Graduate in Products and Software
based in Brisbane, said “I’m proud to be a part of the growing
number of women across STEM disciplines. I am excited to be working
for Rio Tinto at a time where big changes are going to be made to
the way we address our environmental and social responsibilities,
and to see the positive effects that these changes are having, both
on the business and the wider community. I want a future that I am
proud to leave behind.”
Rio Tinto Chief Executive, Australia, Kellie Parker, said “Our
award-winning graduate program provides an excellent launching pad
for the next generation of leaders at Rio Tinto. It ensures we have
an exceptional pipeline of young talent across our business,
embedded with critical future skills across disciplines such
engineering, technology, geosciences, data science and
commercial.
“At Rio Tinto, we are committed to finding better ways to
provide the materials the world needs to decarbonise and our
graduates will be at the frontline of ensuring we deliver on that
promise. With decarbonisation at the heart of our strategy, Rio
Tinto presents a unique opportunity for any graduate wanting to
play a leading role in accelerating decarbonisation and tackling
this global challenge.”
