Where you will be working

Energy Resources of Australia Ltd (ERA) is a publicly listed company with Rio Tinto its major shareholder. ERA previously mined and produced uranium oxide from its Ranger mine in the beautiful and rugged Alligator Rivers area of the Northern Territory. The Ranger mine is located on Aboriginal land, and is surrounded by, but separate from Kakadu National Park.

Under the Ranger Authority, ERA was required to cease mining and processing activities in the Ranger Project Area in January 2021. Final rehabilitation is to be completed by January 2026. The Ranger Mine Closure Project rehabilitates the Ranger Project Area to a standard whereby it could be incorporated into the Kakadu National Park.
