Ready to Step Up or Step Further in Your Leadership Career? Join VINZ!

Are you an experienced Vehicle Inspector, Diesel Mechanic or Heavy Vehicle Technician already leading a team or someone who's had a taste of leadership and is hungry for more? VINZ is offering a unique opportunity to lead not just one, but multiple sites across the Lower North Island.

We're on the hunt for a Branch Manager to lead our Palmerston North branch, while also overseeing operations at our Lower Hutt, Masterton, and Whanganui sites. Whether you're already managing people or looking for that next leadership leap, this is your chance to step into a regional role with real impact and support.

What Makes This Role Different?

• Career Progression with Support: You don't need to tick every leadership box yet! If you've had some experience guiding a team or taking the lead, we'll back you with training and mentoring from experienced managers.
• Wider Impact: Oversee and support teams across four branches including Palmerston North, Lower Hutt, Masterton, and Whanganui, and building consistency and culture across the region.
• Real Perks: Competitive salary, birthday leave, free life and trauma cover, discounted health insurance, and free WoF inspections.
• National Growth Pathways: As part of a wider network, VINZ offers room to move whether that's into senior leadership or other parts of the business.

What You'll Bring:

• Automotive Know-How: You've worked with heavy vehicles, or in technical trades or inspections, and understand what makes a great workshop tick.
• Leadership Ambition: Maybe you're already leading, or maybe you've just started mentoring or training others. Either way, you're ready to take ownership and step up.
• COFB Qualification (or eligibility): If you're unsure, check out the NZ Transport Agency website to see if you meet the requirements. Go to NZ Transport Agency
• People Skills: You're approachable, clear, and know how to get the best out of a teamwhile also keeping customers front of mind.
