Work alongside a global network of tailings and geotechnical experts across Rio Tinto Aluminium & Lithium

Influence major operational and sustaining capital decisions across TSFs and WSFs

About the role

All progress begins with pioneers. At Rio Tinto, it begins with you

We are seeking a Responsible Dam Engineer (RDE) to join our Tailings & Water function supporting Weipa operations. This is a critical technical leadership role providing site-based expertise to ensure the safe, compliant, and effective management of tailings storage facilities (TSFs) and water storage facilities (WSFs).

Working within a well-established global network of subject matter experts, you will contribute to the consistent application of best practice dam safety standards, including the Rio Tinto D5 Standard and the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM).

Reporting to the Principal Adviser – Tailings & Water, you will work closely with site operations teams, sustaining capital projects, and external engineering consultants, including Engineers of Record.

Key responsibilities include:

Providing technical leadership to support safe operation and risk management of TSFs and WSFs

Supporting the D5 Nominated Manager to identify, assess and manage facility risks

Conduct dam inspections and surveillance, coordinate monthly dam safety reporting and facilitate tailings and water steering committee meetings

Ensuring site conformance with D5 governance, assurance and reporting requirements

Contributing to sustaining capital works, including design criteria, hazard classification and risk assessments

Leading technical evaluation of dam safety incidents and development of corrective actions

Coordinating independent technical reviews and engaging with Engineers of Record

Interpreting monitoring data and communicating risk insights to stakeholders

Maintaining critical dam safety documentation and risk registers

Supporting delivery of brownfield and greenfield tailings and water projects

About you

To be successful in this role, you will bring strong technical capability and demonstrated experience in tailings and water storage facility management within a complex operational environment.

You will have:

A Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Civil, Geotechnical or equivalent)

Minimum 10 years of experience in operations/consulting in the management, design and/or construction of tailings and water storage facilities.

Tailings technical management expertise supported by strong geotechnical capability.

Experience in dam break studies and consequence classification aligned to ANCOLD, DETSI or equivalent, and GISTM

Proven experience in undertaking or coordinating risk assessments (e.g. FMEA) and applying ALARP principles

Capability to investigate and manage dam safety incidents and implement corrective actions

Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey complex technical information

Demonstrated stakeholder engagement capability across operations, projects and external consultants

A strong commitment to safety, risk management and Rio Tinto values

Where you will be working

This role is preferably residential in Weipa, Queensland, a unique coastal community in Far North Queensland offering a relaxed lifestyle and strong community connections.

Weipa operations are a key part of Rio Tinto’s aluminium value chain, with a focus on safe, sustainable operations supported by critical tailings and water infrastructure.

What we offer

Competitive salary and benefits aligned to a remote, residential Weipa role

Access to a global network of tailings and water technical experts

Opportunities to work across multiple operations and complex assets

Ongoing professional development and exposure to industry-leading standards and practices

A supportive environment focused on safety, collaboration and continuous improvement
