Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Harwich transport managers.
Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.
Driving employers across the East of England include port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.
Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.
Drivers living near the Haven ports and the A14 corridor parks have plenty of choice. We help your vacancy stand out.
Permanent roles across every licence category.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
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 Harwich run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Pay in the East of England 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.
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 check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.
Career drivers value a known start time, a clean vehicle and a transport office that plans ahead.
