Where we’re all welcome
We are committed to an inclusive environment where people feel comfortable to be 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. 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.
At Rio Tinto, we particularly welcome and encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, women, the LGBTI+ community, mature workers, people with disabilities and people from different cultural backgrounds.
We acknowledge that all people are different and believe that our differences are our strength. The diversity of skills, life experiences and perspectives within our team enhances our way of working and our ability to achieve success together.
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.
You’ll live in the idyllic coastal town of Weipa, with full relocation provided, working across our Northern and Southern Operations. We have options to suit your lifestyle and goals, at East Weipa or Andoom (Northern Operations) you’ll be home after each shift as you’ll be working a 4,5,5 day/night lifestyle roster and for roles based at Amrun (Southern Operations) you’ll be working our new lifestyle roster; 7 days on, 7 days off, 7 nights on, 7 days off and you will stay at our newly built camp during shift and commute back to Weipa on days off, with an additional allowance to compensate time away from home.
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
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
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 150 years and operate with knowledge built up across generations and continents. Our purpose is finding 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.
Where you’ll be working
Our Weipa Operations includes three bauxite mines, processing facilities, ship loaders, an export wharf, two ports, power stations, a rail network and ferry terminals. Located on the Western Cape York Peninsula in Far North Queensland, each year the operation produces more than 35 million tons of bauxite.
Our operations are supported by a 1,900-strong workforce—including 26 per cent who are women and 25 per cent Indigenous employees. Activities include mine operations, maintenance, asset management, ports, cultural heritage management, and processing facility management.
The development of our new mine, Amrun, which was completed in 2018, will extend the life of our Weipa bauxite operations by decades to come and significantly build on our 55-year history on the Western Cape.
