- The ability to stay calm, focused, and solutions-oriented under pressure
- A full, clean New Zealand Driver's Licence
What's on Offer
- Competitive remuneration package, including performance bonuses

- Full uniform, PPE, and structured on-the-job training
- Generous staff and family discounts and buying privileges
- A supportive team environment with a genuine safety-first culture

We're New Zealand's leading tyre specialist - and part of the global Bridgestone Corporation, a world leader in sustainable mobility. That means you get the security of a trusted global brand with the feel of a local team that genuinely cares about the people in it.
We're not just saying that. We actively invest in our people's development, we promote from within, and we work hard to make Bridgestone a place where you feel valued - not just another number on a roster.
