Permanent HGV and LGV drivers for operators in Ellon, recruited onto your payroll for a fixed shift and a depot they can plan a life around.
A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.
Driving employers across North East Scotland include energy supply-chain operators, seafood and agri-food distribution, chilled logistics and North Sea support services. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.
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 Altens and East Tullos estates and the A96 corridor towards Elgin compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.
Permanent roles for career drivers at every stage.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
