Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Macduff transport managers.
Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.
Operations near Macduff run along the A90 and A96 rather than the Central Belt motorways, serving energy, agri-food and regional distribution employers. Across North East Scotland, permanent drivers work out of sites such as the A90 corridor, Dyce and the Bridge of Don industrial estates. 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.
Hiring across North East Scotland is shaped by the A90 and A96, Aberdeen harbour and Aberdeen International Airport: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Macduff goes to someone who can get there every day.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.
Indicative permanent salaries in Macduff run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Basic rate is only part of the offer. Drivers compare shift premiums, overtime rates, guaranteed hours and the age of the fleet. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.
Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.
