You'll play a key part in building a high‑performing team, delivering an outstanding customer experience, and helping grow the branch - all while staying close to the technical work you love.

• Performing Wheel Alignments and being hands‑on across all areas of the workshop
• Assisting with training, performance management, and adherence to company procedures

What We're Looking For

You’ll bring energy, a customer‑first mindset and a genuine desire to lead people. To be considered, you'll need:

• Experience in the automotive or tyre industry - or a strong willingness to learn across all areas of store operations
• Proven sales experience and the ability to drive results as part of a team
• Emerging leadership skills and the confidence to step up and lead by example
• Good communication skills and a solutions‑focused attitude
• A full, clean New Zealand Driver's Licence

• Competitive pay rate with regular performance reviews
• Genuine career progression pathways within the wider Tony's Tyres network
• Ongoing training and professional development support
• Generous staff discounts, family buying privileges, and employee benefits
• A supportive, safety‑first team culture within a well‑established, trusted Kiwi brand

At Tony's Tyres we prioritise a safe and healthy environment for both our team and our customers. The successful applicant will be required to pass a pre‑employment medical and drug test. All applicants must have the legal right to work in New Zealand.
