Lifestyles

What sort of lifestyle can you expect?

With mining, processing and exploration operations in more than 20 countries on five continents, Rio Tinto offers an incredibly wide range of working environments and lifestyles.

From working in an office in a major city such as Melbourne, London, LA, Vancouver, Mexico City or Johannesburg, to being based at a remote mine site in the Namib Desert, the mountains of Peru, Brazil's vast Panatal wetlands, icebound northern Canada or the tropical Kimberley Region of Western Australia, the possibilities are extremely varied and very exciting.

For example, a secondment to the Resolution Copper Mine would see you in the mining town of Superior, about 65 miles southeast of Phoenix and 97 miles from Tucson in the US state of Arizona.  This is high desert country ideal for hiking, climbing, bird watching and photography. There are opportunities for boating on a number of nearby reservoirs.

However, land a job with Rio Tinto Information Systems & Technology and you could find yourself in the modern, fast-growing city of Perth, capital of Western Australia, where you'll enjoy the great Aussie outdoor lifestyle based on sun, sea, surf, sand and the ubiquitous barbecue.

Visit any Rio Tinto business unit on this website and you'll find a brief description of the kind of lifestyle you can expect to enjoy.
