Join the Team

Challenge, variety, fun, and a passion for the industry. At TRT, we offer you more than a job.

There’s always something new happening at TRT. Perhaps it’s a new concept for defence or a new type of heavy transport trailer. It might be a new feature developed for TRT's TIDD Crane or a new 150t crane leaving the yard for delivery to a construction site. Maybe it’s a new product being developed for international markets. Or another Social Club activity happening on the weekend.

But before we talk about the possibility of you working for us, a word about our values.

our culture and values

At TRT, we live our core values every day. They provide the blueprint for everything we do. This way, we’re all working towards the same goals.

Our core purpose.

TRT’s core idea is MADE POSSIBLE.

This idea informs our core purpose: We’ll Move Heaven and Earth.

We make the things others can’t and deliver where others won’t. And we always find a way – sweating every single detail until it’s done.

That’s what gets us out of bed each day and what keeps driving us forward.

Our core values. Not just words on a wall.

OUT-THINK We find solutions. We trouble-shoot. We solve problems. No challenge is too big for us to out-think the obstacles.

OUT-SERVE We’re approachable. We’re friendly. We go the extra mile. Exceeding our clients’ expectations is a big part of who we are.

OWN IT We lead by example. We take initiative. We set clear expectations. The constant question in our minds is “How can we do this better?”

OPEN MINDS We’re flexible. We’re open to change. We bring a fresh perspective. Other people’s ideas are valuable to us.

Still interested?

TRT is a family business. We are proud to have created a successful, dynamic business based on those core values – a business that has grown in size and capability for almost 60 years.

We may no longer be small, but some things have stayed the same:.

• Work-life balance is important, and so is family. We take a flexible approach to employment.
• Job satisfaction is essential. We aim to keep our team challenged and fulfilled in their roles.
• Professional development is vital in our line of work. We encourage training, and we seek out opportunities to upskill.
  
  

Here to stay.

We're here to stay. And that's what we look for in our new team members.

Do you want a career with meaning? Do you seek a challenge? Variety? Do you like the idea of working in a supportive environment alongside other passionate people?

Then TRT is the place for you.
