Careers at Waihi

A career at Waihi offers the opportunity to work for a well-established operation that is ramping up to produce a further 1.6 Moz of gold over the next 15 years.  With a current workforce of over 400 people, we expect to create a further 200 jobs as the Waihi North Project advances.

Mining has been at the heart of the Town of Waihi for over a century and is integrated into the social fabric of the community.  Most of our Waihi employees are from, or live in, the local region and are invested in the positive legacy of safe and responsible mining.  Work at Waihi and experience that local sense of pride, an enviable coastal location, and a team that values delivering on their promises.

Our Waihi Operation is located in the Bay of Plenty, within the small, historic gold mining town of Waihi. With a population of ~5,000, it offers a relaxed lifestyle and is just 60 minutes from Tauranga and two hours from Auckland.

Waihi is close to Karangahake Gorge for hiking, forests for hunting, and Waihi Beach, one of New Zealand’s safest surf spots. The Coromandel Peninsula’s more challenging surf destinations, like Whangamata and Opoutere, are also nearby
