Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Aviemore transport managers.
We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.
Operations near Aviemore serve whisky and food and drink, renewables and the island supply chains, with Inverness the main distribution point. Across the Highlands & Islands, permanent drivers work out of sites such as Fort William, Oban and the west-coast ferry ports. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.
We talk to drivers about the rota, the vehicles, the start time and the depot before we mention your vacancy, so the shortlist is made of people who want that job.
Employers hiring permanent drivers across the Highlands & Islands include distillery and agri-food supply chains, marine and renewables logistics plus multi-modal operators serving the islands.
Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
We ask drivers what would make them stay before we ask whether they can start, so the people we shortlist want this job, not just a job.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Aviemore run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
We benchmark against current offers in the area rather than last year's averages. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.
