Site Based – Balranald, NSW8 days on, 6 days off - Permanent Position lluka Resources is a leading global producer of the critical minerals, zircon and high-grade titanium dioxide feedstocks (rutile and synthetic rutile).
Iluka has also established a significant position in rare earth elements (rare earths).
As an international supplier of critical minerals, Iluka's products are used in an array of applications including technology, construction, medical, lifestyle and industrial uses.
Our people are the foundation of our business and are vital to our success now and into the future.
Iluka offers an empowering and inclusive work workplace that is as diverse as the communities in which we operate.
About the location Iluka's Balranald operation is located in the Riverina district of south western Current South Wales.
The development is focused on the rutile and zircon rich West Balranald deposit, which also contains material quantities of rare earth minerals.
Owing to its relative depth (approximately 60 metres below surface), Iluka has over several years assessed the potential to develop West Balranald via a novel, remotely operated, underground mining (UGM) technology Iluka's UGM technology is akin to keyhole surgery for the mining of critical minerals.
This enables access to ore bodies previously thought uneconomic, with marked reductions in both environmental disturbance and carbon intensity relative to traditional mineral sands extraction techniques, which are themselves less impactful than other commodities.
Iluka's Balranald operation is located approximately two hours by road from Mildura in regional NSW.
You can choose to live in the local region, drive-in, drive-out from towns outside the regional area, (FIFO) fly-in, fly-out from Melbourne or (BIBO) bus-in, bus-out from Adelaide.
