Job Description

We're looking for a motivated and experienced individual to support our growing fleet in Taupō,with responsibility extending to Taumarunui and Ohakune.

This is a new role as a result of our nationwide growth!

The Role:

  • Work with our current service providers to manage maintenance and repairs.
  • Diagnose and repair faults across a mixed-age fleet of approx. 80 buses, including an Electric Bus (EV).
  • Opportunity to upskill and train in EV technology.
  • Coordinate and manage third-party suppliers for overflow servicing.
  • Travel to Taumarunui and Ohakune (twice a month) to check on fleet, handle minor repairs, and liaise with local service providers.
  • Collaborate with operations to ensure the fleet is well-maintained and road ready.
  • Work Ute with service body provided.


Who are we looking for?

A senior Diesel Mechanic looking to take on more responsibility as we expand in the Taupō area. Someone wanting a mix of hands-on and supervisory work, with time spent managing maintenance rather than just being on the tools full-time.

Alternatively, this role could also suit someone who is looking to have less stress and more work-life balance - buses don't typically work the weekends and you'll be home at 5.

You will need:

  • Trade qualification in Diesel Mechanics (or equivalent experience).
  • Strong fault diagnosis and repair skills.
  • Willingness to train and upskill in Electric Vehicle (EV) maintenance. (we pay for the Mito course if this is of interest)
  • Ability to work independently and manage third-party service providers.
  • Full NZ driver's licence (Class 2 or higher preferred).
  • This is a great opportunity to step into a leadership role while still staying hands-on when needed.


If you're looking for a change and want to be part of a growing team, apply today.

We will be reviewing applicants as they apply. Applications close on 14 April 2025

Please note that Tranzit requires a pre-employment Drug & Alcohol test, and you must be a NZ citizen/Permanent Resident, or have the entitlement to legally work in NZ to apply for this role.
