Permanent HGV and LGV driver recruitment across North East Scotland, built around retention rather than filling a seat for a week.
Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.
The market around Stonehaven is dominated by Aberdeen's harbour and energy supply chain, with agri-food and chilled distribution close behind. Across North East Scotland, permanent drivers work out of sites such as Aberdeen harbour and the energy-supply bases at Altens and Tullos. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.
Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.
Employers hiring permanent drivers across North East Scotland include offshore energy logistics, subsea and oilfield services, food and drink processing and regional 3PLs.
Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
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 Stonehaven run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
A clear, competitive offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before the vacancy goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.
A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.
