Station officers are in charge of emergency incidents, their crews and their fire trucks. When we are not attending emergencies, we are making sure the community is safe in other ways by checking our trucks, our equipment, delivering fire education programs, completing training and having fun!
As an infrastructure advisor, I work with organisations to solve complex problems that they can’t solve themselves. No two days are ever the same and I work on a wide-range of projects from transport projects to stadiums – I could be working closely with engineers on a social infrastructure project like hospitals or stadiums to…
As a General Manager Strategic Projects I work across our integrated aluminium business leading small teams to find better ways of doing things. Aluminium is made through 3 stages – bauxite is mined and then transferred to a refinery to be made into alumina and is then sent to the smelter to make aluminium. A…
An electrification manager is responsible for identifying which of Rio Tinto’s global operations should have battery electric equipment and determines how to transition those operations from diesel equipment to battery electric. They are responsible for delivering research and development projects that help improve battery electric mining equipment in the mining environment.
I work to protect and improve water quality at mine sites across the world. I work with exploration geologists to identify problematic rocks that could cause contamination and work with operational mine sites to ensure the problematic rocks are managed appropriately. I focus on leaving a non-polluting mine site at mine closure and to help…
As an environmental engineer, working in heavy industry and mining, I work with different sites to make sure they consider the impact they will have when operations finish. I help them to find better ways to operate to decrease their footprint. I work with all the teams on site to consider how the decisions they…
A data scientist is someone who uses data to solve problems and help people make better decisions. They collect information from different sources, clean it up, and look for patterns or trends. Using tools like statistics, computer programming, machine learning and AI, they turn raw data into useful insights. Data scientists often work with teams…
An underground mining engineer designs and manages underground mining operations, ensuring efficient mineral extraction. They can oversee the construction and maintenance of mine infrastructure, including ventilation and safety systems where ensuring compliance with safety, environmental, and regulatory standards is crucial. They provide technical support and optimise mining processes using specialised software. Effective communication with stakeholders…
Business analysts improve company performance by identifying issues with current business activities and/or systems and driving solutions to these problems. They collect relevant data and use tools to determine the impact and criticality of the problem. This allows their team to judge whether they should address the problem and when. They then work with stakeholders…

Freight comes into the terminal on trucks and trains, some of the freight goes overseas and some freight is domestic that travels to other…
As an engineer in planning, I work with experts to model the future based on population growth, economic developments and new attractions. With this model I plan 5/10/20 years into the future and build the roads and adjacent infrastructure to support the growth of the community.
A Project Engineer helps oversee engineering projects from conception to completion. It can start with simply an idea, which once identified as useful, is further researched and defined. Prototypes, drawings and models are made, which then help construct the final product. This product can be anything from technology, machinery, software, new contracts, and more! Project…
Data Analysts are responsible for collecting, precessing, and analysing data to identify trends and provide insights that drive decision making. They work with various tools and techniques, such as SQL, Python, R, and data visualisation platforms like Power BI and Tableau, to transform raw data into meaningful information. By identifying patterns, solving business problems, and…
Development Analysts and other roles in the Development Team, like Project Developers and Development Managers, work on developing renewable energy projects such as wind and solar farms and batteries, getting them to the stage of being ready to build. They find suitable land, talk to landowners, get government approvals, and design the projects with help…
Traffic and transport engineering is at the intersection between engineering and human behaviour and influences how people use transport infrastructure. Traffic and transport engineers are involved in the planning, design, delivery, maintenance and operation of the transport system. This includes public transport, roads and bridges, and walking and cycling infrastructure to support the movement of…
