Mining Industry
 

I notice there are getting more and more mining companies beingsetup in Singapore, E.g BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto , Anglo American. I am very keen to join in this industry. Is there anyone working in the mining industry?

Basic lower than government, but bonus very high 9-12 mths depending on performance.

My colleagues told me Rio paid out close to 10mth last year, but basic is low. I'm chem engineering 2nd upper join them this year only got 2850, HR told me they compensate by AWS with 2mth.

My friend joined BHP billiton as a fresh graduate and he is getting 3.6+...with benefits 21 days of leaves and paternity leaves of at least 16 weeks ( meaning if his wife has a baby, he get 16 weeks of leaves too ). I am keen to join the mining industry too

Too many people want to join the financial industry. E.g Banks. I think mining industry pay just as gd as them, if not better.

wow..2 mth AWS is gd

So your annual package is 2850 * ( 12+2+10) = 68.4K. That is very gd!

Not bad if you think long term as salary increments are much higher in this industry. Average performer is about 8 to 10% & top performer >15%, so your basic can catch up with others in a few years.

IIRC Rio has a super generous benefit package also.

Interest in Rio's Bonus
 

Hello,

Could anybody working in Rio Tinto or has worked there previously verify the 9-10 months bonus in that company? Doesnt seem very accurate according to the below glassdoor and Vault information (Vault has a profile that states that "bonuses are about 10 to 15% of base salary", and another profile states that "approx 5-12% of salary" which is hardly near the 9-10 months bonus posted by one of the unregistered guests commentators here):

Any one knows?

i guess it depends on the position & what scheme you are on.

i used to be from corp function & we were measured by goup level, it was 3.7 and 4.3 mth for the 2 years there. HR told me it depends on indv performance as well

No way the mining industry pays better. If you look at just salary and not environment or working hours, the top are still finance and law, average out.

Yar i definitely think that the below statement is a gross exaggeration:

"Basic lower than government, but bonus very high 9-12 mths depending on performance." unless it applies to senior management and not for rank and file staff

thanks for the replies all

Does anyone know if SG has an imigration program? is there a minimum salary on that country? is it hard for someone without a college degree to get work there?

Mining Bonus
 

Anyone else has got 9-10 mth bonus in Rio Tinto?

The most I got was 7.8 mth in a good year.

anybody knows the salary and prospects in the mining industry in singapore? as a business analyst

They have a graduate analyst scheme.

Hard to get in? How's the salary package?

Mining industry is down in the dumps due to low commodity prices. Just go read up about iron ore and coal prices. Besides BHP and Rio also look at Vale, FMG and Glenmore Xstrata.

how badly affected is the salary and bonus for graduates?

Rio tinto has a graduate program in Singapore.

Anyone with more information on it?
Prospects wise, renumeration package and also how hard to get into such a program?

Hope to hear of any advice.

Thanks!

Ups for any inputs

Do they hire fresh graduates?

Because when i spoke to representatives from the mining industry at fairs they are only offering internships.

Any idea what is the pay range like for a Master holder with about 5 years of exp?

You can expect 7-8k

How is the pay and career progression at BHP Singapore?

How is the outlook for mining companies in general?

how how how?

why no answer?

Not good in general.

anyone tried applying on their job portal and got stuck in the prescreening phase? i got the invalid link error on that screen

Rio Tinto job portal that is

What is the fresh grad pay like in Rio Tinto/BHP Billiton?

Anyone applied for BHP Commercial Graduate position this year? Have you heard back? Just completed the Hirevue last week…but has not heard back.

the most tedious hirevue ever. Have not heard back yet. Please update if you do.

Mining paying more than finance? Please stop making laughable statements.

Have you checked on the prices of platinum and nickel?

You think miners only dig for metals?

Don't be a laughing stock.

Omg yes I felt the same they had so many questions 😫

Would update this thread if I do hear back and you too please!

Does anyone know the hiring process for the Commercial Graduates at BHP and the salary too?

Understand the program starts in June, do you have to have already received your final gpa or final honours classification to qualify for the commercials graduates role? Asking this as some unis complete the exams by June but overall final results are only out in august….

BHP's package probably beats most banks' MA programmes lol. These people have no idea what they're talking about.

Agree have heard positive reviews on BHP and their salary package should be pretty good. Do you happen to know how much is the pay though for the commercial graduates as couldn’t locate it on Glassdoor
