Branch Manager

The Opportunity This is a rare opportunity for an experienced automotive, transport, or equipment industry leader to take the helm of one of New Zealand's premier on-and-off highway operations and play a key role in the continued growth and success of Penske New Zealand. Why This Opportunity Stands Out Our Christchurch branch is more than a service centre. It is a modern, purpose-built operation bringing together service, parts, and sales functions under one roof. Backed by significant investment in facilities, people, and technology, this is an opportunity to lead a business that is exceptionally well positioned for growth across multiple industries, including heavy transport and equipment, marine, rail, defence, and power generation. Reporting directly to the General Manager - New Zealand and as a member of the senior leadership team, you will lead our flagship Christchurch branch. Supported by world-class facilities, a highly experienced team, and the strength of a globally recognised brand, you will drive exceptional customer outcomes, operational excellence, and commercial success. Your Responsibilities As Branch Manager, you will be responsible for: Driving business growth by leveraging your established industry networks to identify and secure new opportunities within existing and emerging markets. Strengthening customer relationships and expanding Penske's market presence. Delivering sales growth and profitability across all areas of the business. Leading the efficient operation of a complex, multi-functional branch encompassing service, parts, and sales. Building and leading a high-performing team while fostering an engaged, collaborative, and results-driven culture. Coaching, mentoring, and developing future leaders within the organisation. Championing employee engagement, wellbeing, and safety. Contributing as an active member of the New Zealand leadership team.
