Mine Operator - Rotowaro - 10342

About Us :

Bathurst Resources is New Zealand’s largest specialist coal mine company. We produced over 2.2 million tonnes of coal each year and proudly employ over 550 people. About 80 percent of our production is used for steel making of which one third is used by a local Kiwi steel mill. Our high-quality, thermal-grade coal fuels are used to help drive the engines of many iconic South Island food and dairy businesses.

The Rotowaro coalfield and opencast mine is the second largest opencast coal mine in New Zealand and is located 10km west of Huntly. We are also only 40km from Raglan and 40km from Hamilton – the city life or the beach life are both accessible from our mine.

We are culturally diverse and maintain a strong health and safety focus. You dig, they dig, we all dig doing things right! We have our peoples’ best interests in mind and welcome you to put yourself forward to join our team if you have experience driving mobile heavy equipment.
