Vehicle Sales and Operations role
We’re looking for a motivated, people-focused team member to join our modern vehicle sales business in Gore.
HVS has grown from humble beginnings in Gore to a multi-region vehicle retailer, selling over 23,000 cars in the past 10 years! We’re leading the way with a modern, low-pressure approach to vehicle sales that works. Our South Island team supports each other to sell cars without the hassle of the dated car yard model.
If you’re outgoing, accountable, and enjoy working with customers in a practical, hands-on way, this could be the role for you.
About us
We’re not your traditional car yard. Our model is simple, streamlined, and customer-friendly:
Test drives by appointment
Click & Collect online sales
All vehicles are carefully sourced from Japan, prepared at our Timaru depot, then transported to regional yards – ready for customer appointments or online handover.
About the role
The Sales & Operations role in Gore is designed to be straightforward, efficient, and customer-focused. You’ll be the friendly face of HVS locally, making sure everything runs smoothly. Your day-to-day includes:
Arranging and providing test drives
Coordinating WOF updates, vehicle registration, stereo installs, and similar tasks
Ensuring vehicles are clean, tidy, and ready for handover
Delivering a smooth, professional, and welcoming customer experience
Our systems are streamlined so you can focus less on admin and more on helping customers into their new vehicles with confidence.
What we’re looking for
Someone who genuinely enjoys meeting people and has strong people skills
Practical, mature, organised, and proactive
Accountable and driven to deliver great results
Comfortable with both in-person and online customer interactions
Able to prioritise under pressure, manage time well, and work with autonomy
The role includes 1–2 hours on Saturdays for pre-booked test drives and flexible weekday hours.
This position is perfect for someone who enjoys independence, thrives on responsibility, and takes pride in creating a great experience for customers.
