HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Wick

Permanent HGV and LGV drivers for operators in Wick, recruited onto your payroll for a fixed shift and a depot they can plan a life around.

Highlands & Islands

Permanent drivers for Wick operators

Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.

Permanent vacancies across the Highlands & Islands come from distillery and agri-food supply chains, marine and renewables logistics plus multi-modal operators serving the islands. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.

Night trunks, early store deliveries and weekend work each suit a different kind of driver. The shift pattern is the first thing we ask about.

Depots across the Inverness Airport Business Park and the Cromarty Firth ports at Invergordon and Nisbet compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.

How it works

How a permanent search runs

The brief

Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.

Screening

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

The offer

We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.

Your brief

What to put in the brief

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.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
