Assistant Branch Manager - BNT Ashburton

We’re looking for an experienced and motivated people leader to take on the role of Assistant Branch Manager at our branch!


As the right-hand to the Branch Manager, you’ll play a key role in driving branch success — overseeing daily operations, supporting a diverse team, and helping deliver strong commercial results.

You’ll help to lead a varied team including customer service representatives, drivers, warehouse assistants and the day-to-day internal operational activities in the branch. Plus, you’ll be in control of Customer Service, warehouse and delivery functions. Your leadership will help create a safe, efficient, and customer-focused workplace.

If you don’t already know, BNT is a pretty awesome place to work. Apart from a great culture, you get your birthday off every year. You get a paid day each year to do volunteer work. And we give all team members breakfast every morning. How good is that?

The role is full-time, Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm with alternate Sat mornings. It comes with a very competitive salary, and lucrative incentive benefits for hard work and results. Oh, and exceptional discounts on our products!

The company has a flat structure, so you’ll get to work with senior leadership. You’ll also get plenty of opportunities to progress your career with our parent company, Bapcor, operating in New Zealand, Australia and Southeast Asia. So your career could take you anywhere.

So, if you’ve got a passion for leading and developing people, experience supporting a team, and a full clean driver’s license, we’d love to hear from you. Get in touch right away. This position won’t last long.

What you’ll bring:

  • Customer service experience (automotive or trade industry experience is a big plus)
  • Computer skills are a must (basic excel skills are advantageous)
  • A genuine interest in cars, or parts
  • Strong communication skills and a positive, can-do attitude
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and keep things accurate
  • A team-first approach – everyone pitches in here!

Why join BNT? If you haven’t heard (word spreads fast), BNT is an awesome workplace. Apart from a great culture, you get:

  • Your birthday off every year
  • A paid volunteer day annually
  • Free breakfast every morning
  • Competitive salary + incentives for results
  • Exceptional discounts on our products
  • A flat structure where you’ll work alongside senior leaders
  • Career growth opportunities with our parent company, Bapcor, which operates across NZ, Australia, and Southeast Asia

We pride ourselves on our inclusive work environment, and encourage applications from people of all ages, cultures, gender identity, abilities and backgrounds, providing a recruitment experience that’s fair, free from bias and accessible. If you need to inquire about reasonable accommodation for the application process, please email [email protected]
