">Reliable Truck Driver Needed for Livestock Transportation.

Our client, a leading mixed farming enterprise in Western Australia, is seeking a skilled and reliable truck driver to join their team.

As a key member of our livestock transportation team, you will be responsible for safely transporting cattle, sheep, and other livestock across multiple farm sites, ensuring efficient delivery and maintaining high-quality work standards.

This role requires a hands-on professional who is committed to safety, teamwork, and excellent communication skills. You will operate heavy vehicles, manage loading/unloading procedures, and ensure compliance with transport regulations.

Responsibilities:
  • Livestock Transport & Handling: Safely operate and manoeuvre livestock trucks, ensuring proper positioning for stress-free loading and unloading of cattle, sheep, and other livestock.
  • Follow animal welfare guidelines to minimise distress during transport, including appropriate penning, ventilation, and handling techniques.

  • Loading & Unloading Procedures: Operate hydraulic lifts, ramps, and livestock crates to safely load/unload animals, ensuring smooth transitions to avoid injuries.
  • Monitor livestock behaviour during loading/unloading, adjusting techniques to maintain calm and prevent agitation.
  • Adhere to biosecurity measures by cleaning and disinfecting trailers between loads to prevent disease spread.
  • Vehicle Safety & Maintenance: Conduct pre- and post-trip inspections of livestock trucks, checking brakes, flooring, gates, ventilation, and fluid levels to ensure animal safety.
  • Report mechanical issues promptly to prevent breakdowns that could jeopardise livestock welfare.
  • Ensure compliance with Chain of Responsibility (CoR) regulations for heavy vehicle operations.
  • Load Planning & Compliance: Calculate livestock weights and pen distributions to comply with road weight limits and animal density regulations.
  • Arrange partitions and bedding as needed to provide stability and comfort during transit.
  • Secur(e) all gates and restraints to prevent shifting that could harm animals or destabilise the vehicle.
  • Livestock Documentation & Traceability: Verify NLIS tags and movement documentation before transport.
  • Inspect livestock for signs of injury or illness prior to loading, reporting any concerns to farm management.
  • Obtain and file delivery dockets, ensuring accurate records for biosecurity and supply chain compliance.
  • Farm Collaboration & Logistics: Coordinate with station managers, shearers, and feedlot operators to align transport schedules with mustering, sales, or processing timelines.
  • Assist with livestock yard operations when required, including drafting, weighing, or tagging animals.
  • Communicate delays or route changes due to weather or road conditions that may impact animal welfare.

Requirements:

A minimum of 1 year of relevant full-time experience in truck driving is required.
Relevant licensing and qualification are essential, along with proven ability to operate heavy vehicles safely, perform load checks, and follow transport compliance standards.

Benefits:

A competitive remuneration package including a base wage starting at $76,600 - $80,000 per year, depending on skills level + Superannuation.
Overtime and penalties are available, as well as accommodation possibilities based on circumstances.

Others:

Flexible work hours and adaptability to seasonal demands are desirable attributes.
