Yelta, VIC | Full-Time | $80,000–$120,000 inc. super (depending on experience)

Looking for a hands-on role where you’ll be trusted to get things done—backed by a team that genuinely cares!

About the Business

BORCHTRANS is a proudly family-owned transport company based just outside Mildura. They keep things moving—livestock, freight, or machinery—with pride, professionalism, and a strong sense of community.

As a rural transport business, livestock transport is a key part of the work. It’s handled with care and professionalism, but if you have strong personal objections to this, it may not be the right fit—and we’d rather be upfront about that.

The office is also home to Turbo the Jack Russell and Ruby the miniature poodle—the snack break supervisors and hallway patrol. They bring the charm; you bring the capability.

About the Role

This newly created position comes as part of a restructure to sharpen operations and keep compliance ticking along smoothly. You’ll coordinate servicing, track compliance, manage costings, and keep parts and paperwork in order.

One day, you might be ensuring the fleet’s maintenance schedule is running like clockwork. The next, you could be sitting with the Director working through costings for a new truck. If you thrive on sorting out chaos, staying organised, and being part of a close-knit team, you’ll fit right in.

We need someone who pays attention to detail, notices when something’s off, and speaks up constructively—without nitpicking or bulldozing. We value people who can be assertive without being a jerk.

What You’ll Be Doing

Staying on top of transport compliance (NHVAS, WAVA, PBS, HPLV)

Coordinating truck and trailer servicing and repairs

Managing vehicle costings and pricing templates

Keeping parts inventory and yard operations tidy and efficient

Working closely with the Director, 2IC, and Business Manager to keep everything running smoothly

Using tools like Gearbox, Google Drive, Xero, and Excel to stay on top of tasks

What We’re Looking For

We want someone who:

Has a solid background in transport (livestock or general freight experience is a big plus)

Understands compliance and regulatory requirements

Can confidently manage servicing schedules and repair coordination

Has strong experience using the NHVR Portal, including permit renewals, new applications, national network maps, and a working knowledge of fatigue, mass, and maintenance management accreditations.

Is tech-savvy with systems like Gearbox, Xero, and Google Drive

Works independently without needing micromanagement

Communicates clearly, assertively, and respectfully

Can spot problems and focus on solutions—not just flagging issues for someone else to fix

Brings a “get in and have a go” mindset and respects others, no matter their role

Flexibility That Goes Both Ways

We get it—life happens. Kids get sick, appointments pop up, and sometimes you just need a bit of flexibility. We’re a family-run business, and we’ve got your back when you need it. But remember, it’s a two-way street built on respect and doing the right thing by each other.

What You’ll Bring

Industry experience – You know how a transport business works from the ground up

Compliance confidence – You’re across NHVAS, WAVA, PBS, and HPLV requirements

Experience using the NHVR Portal.

Servicing smarts – You can manage servicing schedules and don’t let things fall through the cracks

Numbers know-how – You’re comfortable with costing and billing, and can spot issues before they become problems

Computer capability – You’re confident with digital tools and open to learning new ones

Reliability – You’re dependable, organised, and always follow through

Team spirit – You lend a hand and don’t leave others in the lurch

Proactive communication – You raise concerns early, offer solutions, and keep the team in the loop

What You’ll Get in Return

A secure, full-time role with immediate start available

Competitive salary: $80,000–$120,000 (including super), based on experience

A family-first workplace where you’re respected and supported

Real flexibility when life gets messy—as long as it goes both ways

A genuinely great team—and yes, that includes the dogs

The opportunity to make a real impact and truly own your role
