Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Newmains transport managers.
Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.
Permanent vacancies across Scotland come from grocery and retail DCs, food and drink supply chains, energy and port logistics and national 3PLs. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.
Retention is where permanent driver recruitment pays for itself. A driver who leaves after three months means another search, another induction and another gap on the rota.
Hiring across Scotland is shaped by the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
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.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
Indicative permanent salaries in Newmains 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.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.
A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.
