Career Prospects at Rio Tinto

I am quite unaware on this side of business as I'm still completing my grad program.

Develop skills to an appropriate level;

At this stage in my career I need more experience before I can look at promotion.

It is quite possible to move up within the company, so long as you are hardworking, a good coworker and show a drive to improve the business overall.

Very easy but for only for some people

This company is more about lateral movements. At the top of the corporate ladder there are only a few roles available in my discipline. Much more likely to be moved into different commodities a number of times before being promoted (or into a different discipline completely!)

Depends on vacancies

Based on performance Internal opportunities

From what I know and have been told, quite difficult!

If you work hard and produce successful projects and work I believe that there are many career prospects and avenues you can take. Networking is very important to make yourself known to the work community.

Promotion possibilities are relatively regular, depending on your time and experience and performance in your current role. Because of the many site based assets the organisation has, as well as corporate locations, there are always opportunities available both inside and outside your area of expertise.
