Where you'll be working

Rio Tinto's global headquarters is situated in St. James's Square, in the City of Westminster, London, on the edge of the West End, and is the site of the group's original head office. Located over several floors, the office is truly a global hub for the business and is the base for many members of the Executive Committee. As such, the grade II listed office reflects the vibrancy of the location, although it also overlooks the tranquility of the only garden square in the district and is a short walk from Green Park and Piccadilly underground stations.
