We’re not hiring an assistant. We’re hiring a future branch manager — someone ready to lead from the front, grow with the business, and get stuck in.

Travellers Autobarn is a global campervan rental brand — born in Australia, now rolling across New Zealand, Japan, and the U.S. Our Cairns team is growing, and we’re looking for an Assistant Branch Manager to help run the show, lead the crew, and learn the ropes to step up when the time comes.

This is not a desk job. It’s hands-on, fast-paced, and customer-facing. If you’re organised, mechanically confident, and eager to grow, this is your launchpad into leadership. You’ll get real responsibility, real training, and real opportunity — but you need to bring the energy, work ethic, and team mindset to match.

Who You Are:

You’ve got a positive, solution-first attitude — no excuses, just ownership.

You’re organised — lists, systems, and schedules are your thing.

You have strong attention to detail — van checks, team communication, cleanliness, everything.

You bring energy and lift morale — you make work feel like a team sport.

You lead by example — high standards, high trust, you are hands-on AND you delegate.

You’re handy and mechanically confident — you can turn a spanner and think on your feet.

What You’ll Do

Suppport the Branch Manager in day-to-day operations of our Cairns branch — vehicles, people, and processes.

Lead from the front — safety checks, cleanliness, workflow.

Own fleet presentation, cleaning oversight, safety, and maintenance readiness.

Deliver top-tier customer service, and own the experience.

Help drive results — from KPIs and maintenance records to supplier coordination and expense tracking.

Maintain a clean, organised, and safe work environment.

Drive local sales, up-sell add-ons, and support vehicle sales.

What You Bring

Must-Haves:

A valid driver’s licence.

Solid mechanical or handyman confidence — you’re not afraid of tools.

Strong communicator — clear, calm, and supportive.

Great work ethic — shows up, steps up, follows through.

Comfort with computers, apps, and admin tasks.

Bonus Points For:

Experience in automotive, rentals, tourism, or hospitality.

Team leadership or supervisory background.

A passion for travel, vans, and life on the road.

What You’ll Get

On-Target Earnings (OTE): $70,000 - $75,000 (and that’s in your control — your results = your earnings)

Base salary: $60,000 + super + monthly commissions and performance bonuses (OTE $70,000–$75,000+)

Monthly commission on insurance, add-ons, and vehicle sales — no cap.

Monthly performance bonus – up to $500

Free annual international campervan hire

Full training, ongoing support, and a supportive global team

What This Isn’t

Not a desk job — you’ll be in the yard, on the floor, in the vans.

Not for clock-watchers — you set the pace and rhythm.

Not for fence-sitters — we want someone who leads, not follows
