Not just checking cars. Shaping safer roads.

At VINZ, vehicle inspection isn't about ticking boxes, it's about judgement, integrity, and backing yourself. If you're someone who takes pride in doing things properly and wants a role where your expertise actually matters, this could be your next move.

We're looking for a Vehicle Inspector to join our Rotorua site in a full time capacity. Someone who enjoys being hands-on, supporting others, and setting the standard on the floor.

What makes VINZ different?

We invest in people who want more than "just a job". If you choose to join the team you can expect:

  • Structured training and ongoing development
  • Strong internal support and clear pathways
  • A business that backs quality, not shortcuts

You'll also receive a competitive hourly rate, life and trauma cover, discounted health insurance, a paid day off for your birthday, and a company vehicle for travel to and from work.

What you'll actually be doing

This is a practical, visible role where your knowledge counts.

You'll be inspecting vehicles, supporting compliance, and helping maintain high technical standards across the site. You'll also work closely with customers and colleagues, coaching where needed, sharing knowledge, and contributing to a culture that puts road safety first.

This role suits someone who enjoys:

  • Applying technical judgement, not just following process
  • Supporting others to lift their capability
  • Being trusted to do the job properly

What you'll bring:

  • Ideally you will hold an NZTA COFB Vehicle Inspector authority, if you do not, then the ability to meet NZTA requirements to obtain this authority is needed, check out NZ Transport Agency).
  • Solid mechanical or inspection experience
  • Confidence, professionalism, and a safety-first mindset

If you're ready for a role where your standards matter and your experience is respected, VINZ is ready to talk.
