Rio Tinto Energy has recently acquired control of Riversdale Mining in Mozambique. Riversdale currently has 2 projects, the Benga project which is set to produce first coal in 2011, and the Zambeze project which is at feasibility stage. Riversdale has an expansive coal resource and a very significant growth profile. The Rio Tinto Health and Safety standards and processes need to be established in a quick and effective way to deliver strong health and safety outcomes and alignment with Rio Tinto's values and standards.

It is an interesting time to be in Mozambique with the country experiencing growth across multiple areas, including natural resources and tourism. The locals speak Portuguese and whilst you do not need to have an understanding of the language, you will need to have an appreciation for the culture that comes with working in Africa. This will directly impact your effectiveness as you look to influence peers, leaders and contractors

Rio Tinto is continuously looking for exceptional individuals to become members of the Rio Tinto group. This is your opportunity to become a part of one of the most progressive and forward-thinking companies in the industry
