Jason Hodge

MAusIMM

Superintendent - Scheduling and Systems, Rio Tinto

Jason Hodge joined the AusIMM in 2011 as a student at the University of Adelaide. Since graduating in 2012, Jason has worked at Argyle in Western Australia, Prominent Hill and Challenger in South Australia, the Didipio Mine in the Philippines, and now Oyu Tolgoi in Mongolia.

Jason joined the AusIMM Adelaide Branch committee in 2017 and immediately added value, happily taking on a variety of tasks despite his site-based roles meaning he was often doing this remotely.

In 2019, Jason took over as Adelaide Branch Secretary and played a supporting role in media and sponsor coordination, as well as leading the coordination of the Branch’s annual dinner. In 2021, he became the Treasurer for the Adelaide Branch. He has led from the front and stepped up in responsibility and commitment, driving positive change in the Branch and committee. Jason has the ability to think beyond himself and shows true leadership qualities.

Jason is quick to volunteer his services for anything needs doing, including voluntary work in Cambodia to help alleviate poverty, and being an emergency response team member for both OZ Minerals and Rio Tinto. Jason remains calm in the face of multiple challenges and displays a maturity beyond his years.
