Anglo American jobs, judged for you, free

What they do

Anglo American mines and processes metals and minerals. The board is shared with De Beers, the diamond business. Postings describe open-pit mine infrastructure, crushing and screening plants, and the finance, supply, and technical teams that support them. The work sits in mining regions across South America, Africa, and Australia, with corporate offices in Europe and Singapore.

What they value

• Safety and quality in mine activities, which supervisor postings name as the purpose of the role.
• Living near the mine. Postings ask you to live in, or move to, the named region.
• Formal registration with a professional body, which technical postings require.
• Experience from any industry. One finance posting says mining experience is not necessary and all sectors are welcome.
• A diverse and safe workplace, which postings pair with a long list of health and family benefits.

What they look for

Mine postings state the qualification, the registration, and the roster. The Brazilian mining supervisor posting asks for completed technical education in mining or a degree in a related area, active registration with CRT, CFT, or CREA, command of open-pit mine infrastructure work, intermediate Microsoft Office, availability for a four days on and four days off roster, and willingness to live in the Barro Alto region. Finance postings state years and standards: the financial reporting specialist posting in Lima asks for a certified public accountant qualification, at least six years applying IFRS and reviewing financial statements, and intermediate or advanced English. It then says mining experience is not required. Brazilian postings list benefits in detail, including health and dental cover for dependants, psychological support, and childcare assistance.
