Company :

Truck Stops (NZ) Ltd

Interested in an Apprenticeship? As one of the largest employers of Heavy Diesel Apprentices in New Zealand, Truckstops' Apprenticeship programme may be right for you

Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Do you want to earn a competitive wage while you learn new skills?
  • Do you want to achieve nationally recognised qualifications?
  • Do you want to work on some of the most modern and technologically advanced trucks on the road today?
  • Do you want a career with prospects and opportunities for succession?

As an Apprentice, you will have a job where you learn and develop skills to service, diagnose, repair, and maintain trucks to very high standards. Through MITO, you will work towards a four-year National Certificate in Automotive Heavy Engineering - Road Transport. You will typically work from 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, and every other Saturday, 8am to 12pm.

What you'll need:

  • A can-do attitude and a willingness to learn
  • At least NCEA Level 2 in Maths and English
  • Be prepared to commit to rigorous self-study to complete your MITO qualification
  • Access to reliable transport to and from the branch you will be working at
  • Full (or restricted) driver's licence
  • Be a NZ citizen or permanent resident

Ideally, you will have a pre-trade in vehicle automotive or work experience; however, this is not a mandatory requirement.

What we offer:

  • A safe working environment
  • A toolbox loaded with tools (T&Cs apply)
  • Incremental pay increases each time you achieve a set level of MITO credits
  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
  • Regular training at our purpose-built National Development Centre in Auckland
  • A structured career development plan and opportunities for succession
