Bus Drivers

Ritchies Auckland, New Zealand Full-time

Ritchies is one of New Zealand’s leading transport companies. We partner with regional councils across the country to deliver essential public transport services, helping people in our communities get where they need to go safely and reliably.

We’re also committed to a cleaner, more sustainable future - our fleet is transitioning to all‑electric, supporting better environmental outcomes for the communities we serve. With over 80 years of experience, we’re proud to help keep Aotearoa moving.

We are currently looking for 60 professional drivers to join our West Auckland team. While we are hiring across the region, we have a specific focus on our Westgate & Swanson depots.

Whether you are a career bus driver or a truck driver looking to trade the long-haul heavy lifting for a community-focused role with better work-life balance, we want to hear from you. At Ritchies, we view our drivers with the same prestige as pilots - highly skilled professionals operating advanced machinery to keep our community safe.

For this role we will only be considering Permanent Residence and NZ Citizens at this stage.


Driving progress for people and communities! For more than 90 years, moving people has been at the heart of who we are. Every bus trip helps someone get to work, reach school safely, explore new places, or return home to the people who matter. What we do isn’t just wheels turning—it’s opportunity unfolding. For passengers, we create safe, reliable, comfortable travel that makes life easier. For employees, we provide stable careers, training pathways and a workplace built on respect and purpose. For customers, we provide reliability, clarity and a strategic partnership. And for New Zealand we keep regions connected, economies moving, and communities supported. When people can move freely, they earn, learn, explore, belong. Movement may be what we do. Progress is what we deliver.
