Ready to Shift Gears? Start a New Career Driving with Ritchies – Māngere Depots
No driving experience? No problem. If you’ve got a full Class 1 licence (held for at least 2 years), we’ll train you up and get you road‑ready for a brand-new career with one of Aotearoa’s leading transport companies.
We’re launching two brand‑new depots in Māngere, and we need 250 new drivers to join us on this exciting journey. You’ll be part of a major public transport expansion, and we'll be with you every step of the way.
The Opportunity
We’re offering full-time, secure work on urban public transport routes across South Auckland. You’ll earn while you learn, with full training and support provided to get your Class 2 licence and Passenger (P) endorsement.
Training generally takes around 2–8 weeks and we run onboarding every two weeks, with rolling start dates available as we build our new team over the coming months.
This is more than just a job, it’s a career path with real progression, stability, and the chance to make a difference in your community.
Please note: This role requires the flexibility to work on a 6-day roster, across Monday to Sunday, with shifts starting as early as 4am and finishing as late as 2am. We understand this won’t suit everyone, so it’s important that applicants are comfortable with these hours before applying.

Ritchies is one of New Zealand’s largest and most trusted passenger transport providers. With over 2,000 staff across the country, we partner with councils to deliver public transport services that keep our communities connected.

Are ready for a positive change and a solid career
