Wellington & Hutt Valley Bus Drivers

Right now we are looking for people to join our team. We are looking for experienced bus drivers, as well as people new to the industry.

We are looking for people who want full time work, enjoy meeting people and connecting their community.

If you are new to the industry, don't worry as we can train you.  You need to be willing to commit to a regular rotating roster (once you have finished training and are ready to drive solo) and work with our training team to learn all about the industry and driving buses.

Yes, some of our full time jobs have split shifts due to the nature of public transport with peak runs in the morning and at night.

Many of our team actually enjoy split shifts as they can get chores done during the day, catch up with friends or study between shifts.  Only 19% of our shifts are split shifts.

You may have heard that all bus drivers work a 14 hour day, every day. That's not right at Tranzurban. Our longest shift is 12 hours and 18 minutes and you would only work that shift occasionally.

We pay a flat rate of $32.10 per hour for trained drivers and full time work = a guaranteed 80 hour fortnight. 

Give our HR team a call today on 0800 119 120 to chat about the possibilities, including find out details about our training rates!  Or text BUS to 8289.
