2012 - Graduate Program - IS&T Business Analyst

Rio Tinto Alcan's worldwide operations give Rio Tinto the top global ranking in bauxite and aluminium production. It also has a number of projects in place for the Group to become the global leader in alumina.

Rio Tinto Alcan (RTA) owns, operates or has interests in 7 bauxite mines and deposits, 6 alumina refineries, 6 specialty alumina plants, 26 aluminium smelters and 13 power generating plants, 9 of them hydroelectric.

RTA maintains large, long life, cost effective operations that deliver high quality products. Our strategy is to maximise shareholder return by committing to excellence in health, safety and environmental performance; working with communities to help contribute positively to their health and sustainability; maximising value generated from existing assets; and opportunistically growing the bauxite, alumina and aluminium portfolio.
