Weekend Casual | Local, Regional & Metro Transport | Established Family Business

Looking for weekend work that’s more than just a driving job?

Bennett’s Towing is seeking a reliable, safety-focused and motivated Weekend Casual Tilt Tray Tow Truck Driver to join our Mudgee team.

This role is ideal for someone looking for regular casual weekend work who enjoys driving, hands‑on work, variety and helping people when they need it most.

From local vehicle transport and roadside breakdowns to accident recovery and regional or metropolitan transport, no two shifts are quite the same.

About Bennett’s Towing

Bennett’s Towing is a second‑generation, family‑owned and operated towing business with more than 40 years of experience servicing Mudgee and the surrounding region.

We provide 24/7 accident towing and recovery, breakdown assistance and tilt tray transport, along with scheduled vehicle and equipment transport to and from regional and metropolitan areas.

Our work includes transporting:

• Cars and 4WDs
• Motorcycles
• Caravans and trailers
• Machinery and equipment
• 20ft shipping containers
• Other vehicles and suitable tilt tray loads

Our reputation has been built on safety, reliability, professionalism and strong local knowledge, and we're looking for someone who shares those values.

About the Role

We are seeking a Casual Tilt Tray Tow Truck Driver primarily for weekend work.

The role will involve a variety of towing, roadside assistance, recovery and transport work across Mudgee and surrounding areas, with the potential for regional and metropolitan transport when required.

Weekend work can be unpredictable. One job might involve transporting a vehicle locally, while the next could involve assisting a stranded motorist, attending an accident scene or completing a longer‑distance transport.

Key Responsibilities

• Safely operate tilt tray tow trucks and associated equipment

• Transport cars, 4WDs, machinery, equipment and other suitable loads
• Complete local and regional transport, including deliveries and collections to and from metropolitan areas when required
• Safely load, secure, transport and unload vehicles and equipment
• Complete towing authorisations, job records and other required documentation accurately
• Follow company procedures and applicable WHS, NHVR and NSW tow truck industry requirements
• Comply with applicable load restraint requirements and the NTC Load Restraint Guide
• Complete vehicle and equipment checks and report faults or safety concerns
• Maintain a clean, tidy and professional truck
• Provide calm, professional and respectful customer service, particularly when assisting customers in stressful situations
• Work safely and effectively both independently and as part of our team

What We're Looking For

Essential

• Current MR licence or higher
• Suitable driving history: Applicants must be able to meet the driving-history requirements for a NSW Tow Truck Driver Certificate, including having no more than one driver licence suspension within the previous 3 years. A driving record issued within the required timeframe will be needed for the certificate application
• Ability to satisfactorily complete a National Police Check as required for the NSW Tow Truck Driver Certificate application
• Ability to obtain and maintain a NSW Tow Truck Driver Certificate
• Reliable availability for weekend work
• Reliable, punctual and professional approach
• Strong commitment to safety and compliance
• Good communication and customer service skills
• Ability to work independently and use initiative
• Practical, common‑sense approach to problem solving
• Ability to safely undertake the physical requirements of the role

Highly Regarded

• Current NSW Tow Truck Driver Certificate
• Previous tilt tray, towing, transport or recovery experience
• Mechanical knowledge or aptitude
• Experience with load restraint and securing vehicles or machinery
• Knowledge of Mudgee and surrounding areas

• Local, regional and occasional metropolitan transport
• Modern, well‑maintained tilt tray equipment
• Hands‑on training and support for the right candidate
