GIS & Remote Sensing Specialist
About the role Finding better ways to provide the materials the world needs. We are looking for a GIS & Remote Sensing Specialist to support the ESG team by providing technical expertise in spatial analysis, mapping, and satellite imagery analysis to enhance HSE risk visibility and interconnectedness. This is a great opportunity for a detail-oriented and collaborative individual to contribute to ESG initiatives and develop strategies for addressing spatial challenges. The Simandou Project is a Greenfield iron ore mining project located in the south-east of the Republic of Guinea, West Africa. Simandou is one of the world's largest and richest high-grade iron ore deposits, demand for which is increasing as steelmakers look to reduce carbon emissions. The Simandou project has a vast swath of associated ESG related risks. Location technology is bringing these risks and opportunities into focus. Realising them relies on a suite of innovative technologies including a geographic information science (GIS) and remote sensing to generate spatial insights on ESG-related risks and opportunities across the project scope. One of the key support areas to WCS HSSEC where we are currently resource constrained is GIS and Spatial Analysis. We largely rely on WCS or overstretched Simfer resources to fill this gap. As the breadth of ESG risks rise commensurate with project development, there will be an increased need of Spatial Analysis, GIS and remote sensing capability to locate and penetrate ESG risks before they become acute. The GIS & Remote Sensing Specialist will support the ESG team - including WCS secondees - in spatial analysis, mapping, satellite / airborne imagery analysis and improve HSE risk visibility and interconnectedness. Reporting to the Senior Business Partner - Nature, Strategy and Partnerships and working in a challenging and exciting environment within ESG team, you will:

Rio Tinto is the nominated operator of the Simandou ore block 3 and 4. Blocks 3 an 4 in the Simandou ranges represent one of the most significant untapped, high grade iron ore deposits today, with an indicated resource in excess of 1.7Bt. The mine will create several thousand direct and indirect jobs, with an economic value of several billion dollars over the estimated mine life. Simandou will also serve as an engine for economic growth, and use best practices to create a safe, sustainable, and environmentally friendly operation.
