About the Role

Ready to run your own branch and make it yours?

Keith Andrews Trucks is a well‑known name in New Zealand’s transport industry, representing Mercedes‑Benz, Freightliner and Fuso. We’re looking for a hands‑on Branch Manager to lead our Timaru operation and keep both our customers and our team moving in the right direction.

This role is for someone who enjoys being involved, knows how a workshop ticks, and gets a kick out of seeing things run smoothly.

What You’ll Be Doing

Supported by the General Manager - Dealerships, you’ll be the person keeping the Timaru branch running day to day.

That means:

• Making sure the workshop is organised, productive and well supported

• Leading a team of good people and helping them do their best work

• Being the main point of contact for customers and key accounts

• Sorting issues before they become problems

• Keeping the branch looking sharp and operating safely

Some days you’ll be planning, some days you’ll be dealing with customers, and other days you’ll be jumping in to help the team get through a busy workload.

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need to be a corporate superhero — but you do need to:

• Have leadership experience in a workshop, service, or automotive environment

• Understand heavy vehicles or commercial transport

• Be organised, calm under pressure, and good with people

• Enjoy taking responsibility and following things through

• Communicate clearly with both customers and staff

• If you’re the kind of leader who’s visible, approachable, and practical, you’ll fit in well here.

Why Join Keith Andrews Trucks?

• Competitive remuneration package

• Support from a nationwide dealership network

• Ongoing training and development opportunities

• Work with world‑class truck brands

• A leadership role where your impact is visible and valued
