Ritchies, despite its national depot and service footprint, is first and foremost a people-to-people business, and we pride ourselves on our relationships with customers. We have a flat management structure and operate an 'open-door' policy, designed to ensure staff are always welcome to drop in to discuss any issue they have. All staff at all levels of our company, be they a driver, supervisor or management are expected to ‘step up’ and deliver the best possible service to our customers.

Driver Training – An Opportunity for Career Progression
Driving a bus or coach is an exciting adventure! Our drivers get to meet new people every day and visit some of the most beautiful places in New Zealand. We operate our own dedicated driver training school with a team of NZQA qualified instructors. This allows us to take individuals, who we feel have the right potential for our business, through the licensing and training requirements necessary to become a Ritchies bus driver with a Passenger Endorsement.
And it doesn't stop there - training continues regularly throughout every Ritchies driver's career, even if they've been with us for many, many years.
If you are looking for a rewarding career that offer opportunities to constantly up-skill, in a very stable work environment, then please check the positions listed to the right or contact your nearest depot to see if there are any job opportunities available.
