Customs Broker – Sydney or Melbourne

Gibson Freight (Australia) Pty Ltd

Gibson Freight is an Australian, family‑owned & operated International Freight Forwarder and Customs Brokerage company with over 40 years of industry experience. We are seeking an experienced and motivated Licensed Customs Broker to join our national team, based in either Sydney or Melbourne.

We specialise in international sports, events, and entertainment logistics, supported by a strong International Freight Forwarding division and a loyal base of import and export clients across diverse industries. This is an excellent opportunity for a driven professional who enjoys working in a fast‑paced, operational environment and wants to grow with a well‑established and respected business.

About the Role

As a Customs Broker at Gibson Freight, you’ll play an key role in supporting the continued growth of our customs brokerage operations. You’ll manage customs clearances end-to-end, ensuring compliance, accuracy and a high standard of customer service while working closely with clients, internal operational teams and government authorities.

With our business continuing to grow and increasing opportunities across our operations, we’re looking to expand our existing customs brokerage team. This is an opportunity to join an established and supportive team where you can contribute to our ongoing success while developing your skills and building strong relationships across the business.

The Opportunity





We’re open to hearing from both newly licensed Customs Brokers looking to establish their careers and experienced operators seeking their next opportunity.

You’ll be joining a team that includes two highly regarded and experienced Customs Brokers, providing an excellent opportunity to learn from their extensive industry knowledge while contributing your own skills and experience. You’ll gain exposure to a broad range of customs matters, continue developing your technical expertise, and build the confidence to manage clearances independently.

As Gibson Freight continues to grow, we’re investing in our people and expanding our capabilities to support the needs of our customers. This is an opportunity to become part of that growth, work alongside experienced industry professionals, and build a long-term career with an established, family-owned freight forwarding business.
