Account Manager - Mitre 10 MEGA New Lynn

🏡 About Us

Mitre 10 has been a trusted name in New Zealand homes since 1974. As part of Riviera Hardware Holdings Ltd — the largest group within the Mitre 10 network — we combine the strength of a national brand with the culture of a proudly Kiwi-owned business.

Our New Lynn store serves a large and diverse West Auckland trade community, supporting builders, contractors, and industry professionals with the products, expertise, and service they rely on every day.
