Panel Beater

Ritchies Auckland, New Zealand Full-time

At Ritchies, we are one of New Zealand’s leading transport companies, partnering with regional councils across the country to deliver essential public transport services that keep communities moving safely and reliably. We are actively transitioning our fleet to all-electric, supporting better environmental outcomes for Aotearoa.

We are currently looking for a skilled Panel Beater to join our depot team. Reporting directly to the Workshop Foreman, you will be responsible for bus and coach body maintenance, repairs, and modifications across our fleet to ensure all vehicles operate to the highest safety and engineering standards. From minor maintenance and exterior panel work to spray painting and structural frame refurbishments, your work will directly keep our buses on the road, safe, and looking great for the public.


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.
