Permanent driver recruitment for Nairn employers who want drivers that stay: matched on route, shift pattern and vehicle as well as licence.
Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.
Much of the permanent driving work across the Highlands & Islands starts at the Inverness Airport Business Park and the Cromarty Firth ports at Invergordon and Nisbet. We search for drivers who already know that geography.
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.
Permanent demand across the Highlands & Islands follows distillery and agri-food supply chains, marine and renewables logistics plus multi-modal operators serving the islands.
Permanent roles for career drivers at every stage.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
Permanent drivers for your payroll in Nairn — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.
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 Nairn 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.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
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.
A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.
