Bridgestone New Zealand – Hamilton, North Island

Ready to get your hands dirty, build real skills, and work for a brand people actually trust? We are on the hunt for an experienced OTR Technician to join us.

The Role

You’ll be joining our commercial store in Hamilton as an experienced Fleet Service Technician, keeping our customers’ fleet vehicles rolling safely and on time. No two days look exactly the same - you could be out on‑site fitting tyres on a truck, back in the store working on a van, or managing jobs and talking with customers directly.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Tyre fitting, maintenance and repairs - in-store and on‑site at customer locations


• Keeping job cards and records accurate and up to date


• Delivering great customer service, face‑to‑face and over the phone


• Once you’re up to speed, occasional on‑call weekend work (rostered, not random)

• A full, clean New Zealand Driver’s Licence


• Physically fit and comfortable with manual work


• Great with people - customers and teammates alike


• Reliable, punctual, and takes pride in doing things right


• Eligible to live and work in New Zealand

Nice to have (but not essential):

• Experience in tyres, automotive, transport, or a similar trade


• Comfort working independently and managing your own workload

What You’ll Get

• $28–$34ph with regular pay reviews tied to your training milestones


• Structured on‑the‑job training with a clear progression pathway


• Genuine promotion‑from‑within culture - your next step could be right here!


• Full uniform and PPE provided, as well as a genuine safety‑first approach to work


• Discounts on tyres and servicing for you, your family and friends


• A friendly, tight‑knit team that has your back
