Retread Technician /

If you're someone who shows up, works hard and takes pride in doing things properly — we don't need you to have any experience in tyres or manufacturing. We'll teach you everything you need to know.

The Role

This is hands-on, active work in a structured factory environment in our Christchurch Retread Factory. You'll be working through clear processes and procedures as part of a close-knit team. This role is best suited to someone who takes direction well, doesn't mind hard physical work and wants to build a skill set with one of the world's most recognised automotive brands behind them.

What You’ll Bring

• The physical fitness and work ethic to keep up with the demands of an active factory role where there will be regular heavy lifting
• A full, clean NZ Driver's Licence
• A current forklift licence — or a genuine willingness to get one (we can support you with this)
• A solid understanding of Health & Safety in the workplace
• The legal right to work in New Zealand

What We Offer

• A competitive hourly rate with full uniform and PPE provided from day one
• Overtime paid when required — the hours you put in are recognised and rewarded
• The backing of a global brand — Bridgestone's training and development opportunities are real, and they're yours to take
• A safety-first culture where people actually look out for each other
• Staff and family discounts, buying privileges and employee benefits across the Bridgestone group

Why Bridgestone?

We're New Zealand's leading tyre specialist - and part of the global Bridgestone Corporation, a world leader in sustainable mobility. That means you get the security of a trusted global brand with the feel of a local team that genuinely cares about the people in it.

We're not just saying that. We actively invest in our people's development, we promote from within, and we work hard to make Bridgestone a place where you feel valued - not just another number on a roster.
