Job description

At a.hartrodt, we're not just a company — we're a 138-year legacy in global shipping, still proudly family-owned. We're on the hunt for energetic, curious people who are hungry to build a real career — whether you've already had a taste of logistics or you're bringing strong admin, computer or customer service skills from somewhere else entirely.

Maybe you're not getting enough out of your current role. Maybe you're ready to work somewhere that actually invests in where you're headed, not just what you can do right now.

Join us and work side-by-side with top-tier operators who live and breathe this industry — people who'll teach you the "why" behind every "what."

Here's what you can expect:

• Career Growth – A real path forward, not just a job description.
• Employee Focus – Mentorship, recognition and encouragement that actually shows up day to day.
• Global Experience – Hands-on exposure to international trade in a stable, forward-thinking company.
• Inclusive Culture – A team that backs each other and values what everyone brings to the table.

About the Role

We're looking for a full-time Import Clerk to join our Brisbane branch. Some exposure to logistics or forwarding is a bonus, but it's not essential — what matters more is that you're strong on computers, organised, take ownership of your tasks, and are ready to move beyond data-entry to understand the moving parts behind it.

You’ll work closely with our customer service, customs and cartage teams, getting a front-row seat to how international trade actually works.

If you're the type who wants to know the how and the why — who gets a kick out of solving a problem rather than just flagging it — this is your next move.

You’ll need to be an Australian or New Zealand citizen, or an Australian permanent resident, to apply.

Who We're Looking For

You don't need a logistics background to apply — you just need the drive to get there and the transferable skills to back it up. We're after someone who:

• Has strong computer and admin skills, and genuinely takes ownership of the tasks in front of them.
• Brings energy and a genuinely positive attitude to learning in a fast-moving global industry.
• Backs their team and pulls their weight toward shared goals.
• Takes pride in getting the details right, every time.

Key Skills & Attributes

• Clear, confident communicator — written and verbal.
• Comfortable with numbers and works out solutions with an eye for detail.
• Strong computer skills — happy with data entry, Word and Excel.
• Learns fast and genuinely wants to grow.
• Self-motivated, enthusiastic, and serious about a career in logistics.
• Thrives in a team and shows up for the people around them.

What's In It For You

• 20 days annual leave.
• 1:1 mentoring from people with decades of industry knowledge.
• A social club that means business — think Flannelette, Beanie & Ugg Boot Day.
• A fully expensed Christmas function, partners included.
