Job description

Love Queenstown and everything that comes with it?

We're looking for Coach Driver-Guides to join our team year-round. Milford Sound tours, Doubtful Sound, ski field transfers, rafting adventures down the Kawarau and through Skippers Canyon. No two weeks look the same.

At RealNZ, we pride ourselves on delivering extraordinary experiences and on many of our tours, you are that experience. Your commentary, your warmth, and your knowledge are what guests take home with them. If you believe every guest should leave with a great story to tell, read on.

You'll work a 4-day roster averaging 45 hours, leaving you 3 days to enjoy the place you're showing off to everyone else. We're after people who are the best at what they do, love variety, work hard when it counts, and value the lifestyle that comes with living here.

While you're the only one behind the wheel, you're never on your own. This is a team that works together, supports each other, and has your back. We reckon it's the best driving crew in Queenstown.

What You'll Bring

• A current NZ Class 2 (or above) licence with a valid P endorsement.
• Class 4 preferred.
• Confidence driving large vehicles across varied terrain and conditions. The kind of calm that keeps everyone relaxed when things go sideways.
• Hosting & commentary experience or the personality for it.

What You'll Get

• Permanent or Fixed term opportunity
• A 4-day week, incredible staff perks, and a windscreen view that never gets old.

Real People, Real Places, Real Experiences. Welcome To Real.

When's the best time to join the Real whānau? Now's good.

We're the conservation business that's enabled by tourism. We're helping the world, one guest at a time, fall in love with conservation. We're inspiring people to leave their places in better conditions than when they found them. We channel a guest-centric approach that fuels our genuine promise to deliver Aotearoa's most unforgettable experiences.

It's our workplace environment that makes careers at RealNZ more exciting than the regular job. Working for Real could mean you're based anywhere between a secluded island, a scenic fiord, and a snow-capped maunga. Our people, places, and workdays are a great and diverse mixture. It keeps us on our toes and adds value and passion to our work.

At RealNZ, we're committed to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. Guided by our values of Pono (Keep it real) and He waka eke noa (We're all in this together), we embrace and celebrate the unique perspectives and experiences that make our team stronger. Everyone is welcome here.
