Join the Crew
If you've got the skills, we've got the work.
Mike Mooney, Managing Director
Who We're After
We back people who back their work.
If you know how to turn up, do it right, and get stuck in — you'll fit in fine here.
You might be:
- •A welder or fabricator who's tired of sloppy jobs and wants to do it right
- •A fitter or tradie who wants real variety — not the same site every day
- •An apprentice who wants to learn fast, get respect, and get hands-on
What It's Like Here
Elite isn't just the name — it's how we work. We've been doing this for years. Local crew, local jobs, and long-term clients who trust us to show up, build it once, and build it right.
You'll be part of a team that:
- •Takes pride in tidy work
- •Has each other's backs on site and off
- •Doesn't chase perfection — but doesn't half-arse anything either
- •Gets real respect from clients and contractors
What You'll Get
Certified Excellence
We're certified to do the work others can't, and that's why major operators call us in.
Built by the Mooneys. Grown on solid work.
We're not a new name in town. Elite has been part of Whanganui's industrial scene for years — and we're just getting started. The business is built on the tools, not the boardroom. Three brothers, all hands-on, all driven to do the job right.
Mike Mooney
The Front Man
Mike leads the charge. With decades of experience across structural, stainless, and site installs, he's known for straight talk, sharp standards, and jobs that don't need fixing twice. He's the one clients call when it matters.
Dion Mooney
The Fabricator
Dion runs the shop floor. From heavy structural to stainless food-grade gear, he's the one making sure what leaves the workshop is clean, square, and built to last. Quiet operator, tidy results.
Murray Mooney
The Fixer
Out in the field, boots on, tools ready. Murray handles installs, breakdowns, shutdowns, and keeps things moving when time's tight. Reliable as they come, and fast on the job.
