We are looking for a new team member to join our refurbishment team as a Transport Engineer in our workshop in Mt Maunganui.

You will love getting stuck into a job, helping where you can and learning on the go, and come with at least 3 years on-the-job experience in Transport Engineering. 

To be successful in the role, you will come to us with a few years under your belt working on heavy machinery, have a keen eye for detail and know when something just isn't right. We require someone who has completed their trade certification and holds (or can obtain) the relevant welding qualification necessary for the type of repairs we undertake. Basic computer skills are a must, as communication and system input are important to work as a team.

Some large parts of the role include the following:

• Light to heavy engineering - this may include wheel bases, fitting fifth wheels, body removal and fitment, making of draw beams and repairing the likes of roof poles and decks

• Minor paint repairs, where deemed needed

• Minor panel work (dependent on skill level)

• Assisting in the delivery of vehicles to customers when required

• Relocation of vehicles in peak season if required

• Basic auto-electrical repair work where required

• Strong communication and team work skills

• Mentoring and supporting apprentice engineers - sharing your knowlege to upskill the team

If you have a non-excuses mentality, keen to get your hands dirty, have experience in the transport industry and want to work for New Zealand's leading truck and trailer rental and lease company, it's time we talked!

The position will be based in our Mt Maunganui branch with a great bunch of like-minded team members.

But what do you get out of working with TR Group?

• A company share scheme – After three years service 

• Genuine opportunities to learn and grow

• A parental leave policy that incorporates a transition back to work 

• A culture that is more than just values written on the wall, our culture runs deep and is what makes us successful - this is something we hold dearly

Besides from that, we are a team, and we are a family. We look after each other in the good times, and the tough times. Our values speak to who each and every one of us are, and we don't have to have the words on the wall to prove it. TR Group is so much more than a business, we make a lasting imprint on each other and the community we live in. We are dedicated to personal growth of our team, whether that's new ways of thinking, doing or simply getting out of the every day to work on yourself. You can expect to learn and develop both personally and professionally, and we believe that the better person you are at home, is the better person that comes to work. It’s not just a job.
