Driving progress as a leading mine operator means attracting and nurturing the best professional talent. To do so, we maintain the highest health and safety standards, offer competitive and equal salary incentives and benefits and provide attractive professional development opportunities and training.

One of our defining strengths is to seek to hire local staff wherever possible. Forging strong ties with staff who are rooted to the area, rather than relying on imported labour, makes our workforce, our community and our operations more robust.

In 2024, 67% of Proyecto Riotinto’s total workforce was from neighbouring villages and we also have agreements to foster local collaboration in other municipalities where we operate.

For Atalaya assets as a whole, 72.5% of employees come from nearby areas (including our Extremadura and Galicia projects).

Atalaya is committed to creating an equal and high-quality working environment, guaranteeing the human rights and dignity of all its people, including those who provide services directly or indirectly at our sites.

Accordingly, the company rejects any form of harassment, violence, abuse or discrimination at work.

We formally uphold equality of pay and opportunities for all staff members, reflected in our Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Salary packages for executive personnel are linked to specific targets including safety, production and financial performance, such as accident rates, ore and waste processing in tonnes and budget targets.

Additional benefits for all staff include study grants, reduced summer working hours and shift bonuses.

Open lines of communication with employees build trust and, ultimately, productivity. Ensuring that valuable insights from workers regarding safety, operational effectiveness and creativity are considered in decision-making processes contributes to a positive workplace culture and long-term success.
