We're looking to hire within our group here at Rio Tinto Most work is done for Kennecott directly but we help out other Rio TInto Mines sometimes too. Really need someone with Procurement and technical experience. I know most of you have the tech so apply away. This is not an entry level job And please keep in mind Kennecott is not just a mine with haul trucks. We need more than a mechanic. I'd really like to see some engineers apply or millwrights that have some procurement experience and please let me know if you put in a resume so I can watch for it
