Internship - Health & Safety
Get real work experience at one of the largest mining and metal companies in the world, focused on safety and inclusion
Work with the newest technology and innovation, in an environment where we challenge you to drive positive change
Summer 2023 internship
About the role
We are offering a 3-month Health & Safety summer internship at Rio Tinto's Resolution Copper project based in Superior, Arizona. The Summer projects and tasks will be suited to a current student in an industrial or occupational health and safety program.
Be recognized for your contribution, your thinking and your hard work, and go home knowing you've helped the world progress.
What you'll bring
*To be eligible for an internship, you must be returning to school in the fall and have the right to work in the US.
What's on offer
Where you will be working
Once in operation, Resolution Copper has the potential to supply nearly 25% of US copper demand and create several thousand direct and indirect jobs in the Pioneer Mining District of Arizona, with an economic value estimated at several billion dollars over the mine life.
The project will rely on a block caving technique to extract the deposit that lies more than 2,000 meters below the surface. This method uses gravity to remove the ore and is the most viable way to recover the resource.
In 2019, the project achieved a significant milestone - issuance of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) by the US Forest Service (USFS). In anticipation of the Final EIS in 2020, Resolution Copper continues permitting and community engagement activities, reclamation of the historic Magma Mine site, shaft and underground development studies, and advancing data collection to further orebody knowledge.
Every Voice Matters
We are committed to an inclusive environment where people feel comfortable to be themselves. We want our people to feel that all voices are heard, all cultures respected and that a variety of perspectives are not only welcome - they are essential to our success. We treat each other fairly and with dignity regardless of race, gender, nationality, ethnic origin, religion, age, sexual orientation or anything else that makes us different.
At Rio Tinto, we particularly welcome and encourage applications from Indigenous Peoples, women, the LGBTQ+ community, mature workers, people with disabilities and people from different cultural backgrounds.
