Our Client

For 37 consecutive years, Isuzu Australia Limited has been Australia’s leading truck brand, built on a foundation of reliability, innovation and a workplace culture that consistently ranks among the best for employee engagement.

The product range spans light to heavy duty trucks, featuring advanced engine technology and comprehensive safety systems, while the business proudly markets, distributes and supports Isuzu Trucks and Isuzu Power Solutions across Australia. Continued growth has created an opportunity for a Legal Counsel to join the in-house team at Isuzu Australia Limited’s Truganina office.
