We recruit the people who plan the routes, run the traffic office and keep Airdrie and Scotland fleets compliant.
Every transport candidate we put forward has been checked on qualifications, systems and the fleets they have run.
Fleets across Scotland depend on the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen. Planners who know those links plan tighter days.
We ask candidates which routing software they use, how many vehicles they plan and what they have done about empty miles.
Operators at sites such as Eurocentral, Bellshill and Newhouse along the M8 plus the Grangemouth port and refinery complex compete for the same experienced planners, which is why pay moves quickly.
Permanent roles across the traffic office, from planners to transport managers.
We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
We benchmark salary, on-call pay and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Airdrie run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Candidates weigh the whole package: salary, hours, on-call, holiday and the culture of the traffic office. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
An empty planning desk costs more than the advert: overtime, missed slots and avoidable empty miles.
Notice periods for transport managers can be long, so we plan the handover from the first call.
A strong transport brief covers:
Loading live roles…
Yes. GOV.UK says you need the Transport Manager Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) to become a transport manager. Operators with a standard national or international operator's licence need a transport manager.
We confirm qualifications such as the Transport Manager CPC, check right to work and ask about the fleets, networks and systems they have run.
Yes. Tell us the hours and the network so we approach planners who want night work and have done it before.
Yes. We recruit fleet managers and maintenance controllers who look after vehicle compliance and cost.
GOV.UK describes an internal transport manager as employed by a single operator and an external transport manager as a freelance manager working for more than one operator.

A short brief is enough to start: the fleet, the systems and the start date.
