Timber starts at the family sawmill in Mount Gambier (30 years running), comes to Melbourne to be treated (structural timber for housing and outdoor structures, plus fencing and sleeper materials), and is then wholesaled, mostly into Bunnings, Mitre 10 and smaller fencing yards across Victoria and beyond.The Melbourne operation has grown steadily over 20 years.
They fly a little under the radar (clients are often surprised how big they are when they visit), do things with minimum fuss, and are always investing in new machines and ideas.
It's a genuinely good, stable business with a warm, close-knit team.The team and the role You'll work directly with the owners, in a small team (around 8, up to 12 when busy), with a dotted line to the Mount Gambier office for finance reporting.
There's no hierarchy here, everyone's hands-on and gets out on the floor, so you need to be someone who can talk to anyone and adapt to a small group.This is the broad, hands-on administration role that keeps the site running.
It spans accounts and finance, sales and purchasing, inventory and dispatch, payroll and WHS admin, plus general site administration.
The phones run hot with orders, changes and enquiries, so a big part of the job is fielding and coordinating those while keeping the systems accurate.Crucially, this is not a sit-behind-a-screen-and-tap-away role.
They want someone who gets involved, adapts, and shows real initiative, the kind of person who puts an idea in front of Andy and says "let's run with this," rather than just working through a task list.What you'll doAccounts and finance adminProcess supplier and customer invoices, payments and statements through MYOB and TimbersmartReconcile invoices, dockets, receipts and purchase orders, and maintain customer accountsWork with the Mount Gambier office for accurate monthly reporting, and resolve routine account queriesSales, purchasing and inventory adminEnter and maintain sales and purchase ordersCoordinate truck dispatch, deliveries and stock movements, and process incoming stock and transfersMaintain inventory records and order operational consumablesSite and business adminGeneral support to the owners and team, plus records, filing and correspondenceCoordinate stationery, kitchen and office suppliesProactively follow up and improve how things runPayroll adminPrepare and process weekly Melbourne payroll and review timesheets for accuracyMaintain records and confidentiality, and resolve routine payroll queriesWHS adminSupport WHS records,

Nobody who works here notices it after a while, and there's never been an issue, but we mention it upfront so it's no surprise.
This is a working yard, not a corporate office.Hiring processStep 1: Apply and complete short screening questionsStep 2: Alignment call with AlignrStep 3: Round 1, culture and foundational-skills interviewStep 4: Round 2, onsite with a practical or scenario element so you get a feel for the placeStep 5: Offer, reference checks and onboardingBe careful - Don't provide your bank or credit card details when applying for jobs.
