Contract type: Full time
Team Leader – Site Control & Security
Permanent | Gladstone based | Career growth | Relocation support
We are seeking a proactive and safety-focused Team Leader – Site Control & Security to join our Yarwun operations in Gladstone. This role is responsible for leading a team that ensures secure, efficient, and seamless access to site facilities for employees, contractors, and visitors.
You will oversee the management of multiple access, security, and profile systems to enable authorised personnel to move through approved areas without disruption—supporting operational continuity and compliance with site protocols and compliance with safety and statutory requirements.
Key Responsibilities
Rio Tinto is a leading global mining and materials company. We operate in 35 countries where we produce iron ore, copper, aluminium, critical minerals, and other materials needed for the global energy transition and for people, communities, and nations to thrive.
We have been mining for 150 years and operate with knowledge built up across generations and continents. Our purpose is finding better ways to provide the materials the world needs – striving for innovation and continuous improvement to produce materials with low emissions and to the right environmental, social and governance standards. But we can’t do it on our own, so we’re focused on creating partnerships to solve problems, create win-win situations and meet opportunities.

At Rio Tinto, we particularly welcome and encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, women, the LGBTI+ community, mature workers, people with disabilities and people from different cultural backgrounds.
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.
