Tayside & Fife

Recruiting permanent drivers in Dundee

Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.

Permanent vacancies across Tayside & Fife come from food and drink manufacturing, soft-fruit and agri-food distribution, life sciences and regional 3PLs. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.

Night trunks, early store deliveries and weekend work each suit a different kind of driver. The shift pattern is the first thing we ask about.

Depots across the Port of Dundee and the Dundee and Perth industrial estates compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.

Who we place

Permanent driving jobs in Dundee

From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.

What Dundee employers get

Matched on the job, not just the licence

Assessment drives arranged

Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.

Fewer, better interviews

You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.

Through the first weeks

We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.

What drivers earn

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Dundee

Indicative permanent salaries in Dundee run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.

Pay in Scotland moves with the licence, the shift pattern and the work: nights, tramping and ADR usually carry a premium over day work. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

From brief to start date

The brief

Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.

The search

Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.

The start

Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.

Your brief

Before we start searching

A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.

If a role is hard to fill, we look at what is making it hard: the start time, the pay or the route. Then we tell you.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
