As our award-winning, multi-franchise Dealership continues to grow, we’re looking for an experienced and motivated Qualified Automotive Technician to join our high-performing Service Team in beautiful Taupō.

If you’re passionate about the automotive industry, take pride in your workmanship and want to build a rewarding career with an employer that genuinely values its people, we’d love to hear from you.

While we’re proud of our history and achievements, we’re even more excited about our future.

Our four-day working week reflects this commitment. We want our Team members to enjoy fulfilling careers while having more time for family, friends, recreation and everything that makes living in the Central Plateau so special.
