About Us

Bathurst Resources is New Zealand’s largest coal‑specialist mining company. We produce over 2.2 million tonnes of coal each year and employ more than 550 people. About 80 percent of our production is used for steel making, one third of which is supplied to local Kiwi steel producers. Our high‑quality, thermal‑grade coal fuels help drive the engines of many iconic food and dairy businesses.

The Rotowaro coalfield and open‑cast mine is the second largest of its kind in New Zealand and is located 10 km west of Huntly. It is also only 40 km from Raglan and 40 km from Hamilton – giving you access to both city life and beach life.

We are culturally diverse and maintain a strong health and safety focus. You dig, they dig, we all dig doing things right! We put people’s best interests first and invite those with experience driving mobile heavy equipment to join our team.
