About Rio Tinto

Every idea, every innovation, every little thing the world calls ‘progress’ begins with a first step, and someone willing to take it: explorers, inventors, entrepreneurs. Pioneers.

For nearly 150 years, Rio Tinto has been a company of pioneers – generations of people spanning the globe, all with the grit and vision to produce materials essential to human progress.

Our iron ore has shaped skylines from Shanghai to Sydney. Our aluminium – the world’s first to be certified “responsible” – helps planes fly and makes cars lighter. Our copper helps wind turbines power cities and our boron helps feed the world, and explore the universe.
Our diamonds help us celebrate the best parts of life.

Where you’ll be working

Rio Tinto’s BC Work’s aluminum smelter in Kitimat is powered by the Kemano Powerhouse, which receives water from the Nechako Reservoir via a single tunnel that is over 60 years old. Completion of a second tunnel will ensure the long-term reliability of the power supply from the Kemano Powerhouse, which powers Rio Tinto’s BC Works smelter in Kitimat. In December 2017, the Kemano Second Tunnel Project (T2 Project) received final approval from Rio Tinto’s Board. Rio Tinto will continue to operate the existing tunnel and monitor its condition until the T2 Project is completed, and on an ongoing basis. Project completion is expected by the end of 2021.

You will be a part of the Global project team who are assigned to this mandate. The project team will be working at the project site in Kemano, BC.

Rio Tinto is proud to operate in BC alongside our 1,000 employees, partners, community stakeholders and First Nations, and we look forward to the next 60 years.
