HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Peterhead

Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Peterhead transport managers.

North East Scotland

Hiring drivers for good in Peterhead

Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.

Driving employers across North East Scotland include energy supply-chain operators, seafood and agri-food distribution, chilled logistics and North Sea support services. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.

A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.

Depots across the A90 corridor, Dyce and the Bridge of Don industrial estates compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.

The jobs we work

Permanent roles across every licence category.

Our approach in Peterhead

Right driver, right shift, right depot

Retention first

We ask drivers what would make them stay before we ask whether they can start, so the people we shortlist want this job, not just a job.

Licence and CPC checked

Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Peterhead goes to someone who can get there every day.

Pay, clearly

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Peterhead

Indicative permanent salaries in Peterhead 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.

How it works

Brief, search, shortlist

Screening

Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.

Interviews and assessment drives

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

The start

Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.

Your brief

The brief that works

Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.

Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Driver FAQs

Before you ask

How long does a permanent driver search take?

It depends on the licence, the shift pattern and the local market. We give you a realistic view at the start, before the search begins.

Can you recruit night trunking drivers?

Yes. Tell us the legs, the start time and whether nights out are involved, so we approach drivers who want that pattern.

Do you also recruit transport managers and planners?

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

I am a driver. How do I find a permanent role?

Upload your CV and tell us your licence, your area and the shift pattern you want. We contact you when a permanent role fits.

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.
