Treadmark coaches are knowledgeable, credible professionals committed to delivering the best possible learning outcomes for our students.
Our coaching combines a strong understanding of mountain biking, proven coaching strategies and rider movement patterns. You’ll be expected to deliver every session in a complete professional manner that reflects Treadmark’s standards of quality, lesson delivery and overall brand image.
Most coaching in Queenstown is on demand, though we have options for coaches seeking more consistent work across the season.
What you
will bring.
Experience takes precedence, supported by the qualifications and professional approach needed to coach safely and credibly.
Experience first
Previous mountain bike coaching experience is essential. PMBIA Level 2 is preferred, but PMBIA Level 1 coaches with strong experience are encouraged to apply.
Safety and credibility
A current First Aid certificate is required. Applicants may also be required to complete Police Vetting.
Professional commitment
You are reliable, well presented and genuinely invested in student development, positive coaching culture and the Treadmark standard.
Prepared to hit the ground running.
Depending on your existing skills and coaching experience, you may be required to complete Treadmark’s full two-day induction and work through our in-house coaching material.
This process ensures every coach understands our approach, can deliver lessons confidently, and is equipped to represent the brand from their first session.
Roles, commitment

Consistency is crucial. Students build trust and rapport with their coach early on, and that relationship plays an important role in their ongoing development.
We are looking for coaches who can commit to both term programmes across the season: Term 4, starting in October, and Term 1, starting in February.
