Rooney Group is a leading New Zealand civil contractor. We offer a range of services including in earthmoving, civil construction, pipe and cable laying, drilling, cartage and transportation.

Founded by Gary Rooney in 1976, Rooney Group began as a small earthmoving business with a single bulldozer in Waimate, South Canterbury. Over the last 38 years Gary has grown this business upon strong principles of trust, reliability and customer satisfactions.

Today Rooney Group has separate companies for earthmoving, boring and holdings, employing over 250+ staff at branches in Waimate, Ashburton, Christchurch, Timaru and Oamaru.
