Grow your Career with Owens

Joining us straight out of school means you’ll be starting a career – not just a job. Being in the operations, you'll learn the nuts and bolts of our business. You'll be working alongside people who have been in your shoes and want to see you succeed. At Owens your success will come through hard work and passion. So rather than watching from the sideline, you'll be expected to contribute, challenge and get actively involved in decision making. You'll be a valued part of the Owens Transport team from day one. If you’ve got the right attitude, enthusiasm and a willingness to learn, we can teach you the rest.

Our Development Programme seeks those willing to get stuck in and are keen to embrace all kinds of challenges and new experiences. We are not bound by rigid rotations; we don’t hold your hand but do give support and guidance to help steer you in the direction that you want to head. 

There is a lot of freedom and flexibility to carve out your own career path with the support from mentors, Branch Managers, and other team members! So, if you're looking for a role straight out of Uni that can keep up with your hunger to learn, determination to progress and eventually run the show, talk to us.

Being an Owner Driver with Owens Transport gives you the freedom and opportunity of having your own business, while being backed by a team that can help you build up a customer base and provide ongoing work. As a Owens Transport Owner Driver, you will have access to business advice, some of the latest technologies and career progression opportunities. While you are technically your own boss, you will always be included as an integral member of our family.

*Please note: we are currently not accepting Owner Driver expression of interest in the Auckland region.

At Owens we are focused on growing our people in our own unique style. Whether you join us from school, university, or another job, our philosophy is the same: to hire people with the right attitude and passion, then help them develop the skills they need to succeed in our business, lead a team, a branch or a country one day.

The moment you become a member of the Owens family, your career hits overdrive - if you want it to. Anything is possible here because you get to work right alongside the best people and make real-life decisions. We promote from within our own global pool of talent and give you the freedom to go as far as you dare.
