HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Kingussie

Permanent HGV and LGV drivers for operators in Kingussie, recruited onto your payroll for a fixed shift and a depot they can plan a life around.

Highlands & Islands

Permanent drivers for Kingussie operators

We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.

Permanent vacancies across the Highlands & Islands come from distillery and agri-food supply chains, marine and renewables logistics plus multi-modal operators serving the islands. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.

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.

Drivers living near Fort William, Oban and the west-coast ferry ports have plenty of choice. We help your vacancy stand out.

Permanent and temporary

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.

How it works

How a permanent search runs

The brief

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

Interviews and assessment drives

We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.

The offer

We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.

Your brief

What to put in the brief

The cost of a vacancy is more than the advert: overtime for other drivers, missed slots and pressure on the planners.

A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Which licence categories do you recruit for?

Category C+E (Class 1), Category C (Class 2) and C1 (7.5 tonne), plus drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets.

Can you recruit several drivers at once?

Yes. For a new contract or a growing fleet we can recruit a group of permanent drivers, with start dates staggered if that helps.

Yes. Our transport and planning desk recruits the transport office roles around your drivers.

Can temporary drivers cover the gap until a permanent hire starts?

Yes. Our temporary driving desk supplies HGV Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers while the permanent search runs.

What makes a permanent driver stay?

A settled shift, a depot they can reach easily, a well-kept vehicle and pay that matches the local market. We recruit around all four.
