Transport Planning Recruitment in Bothwell

Permanent transport planners, schedulers and CPC-qualified transport managers for operators in Bothwell.

Scotland

Hiring transport people for good in Bothwell

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.

Taking on a new contract? We can recruit the planners and the transport manager together so the traffic office is ready on day one.

Across Scotland, planners and transport managers are hired by retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs.

The jobs we work

The permanent traffic office seats we fill

Permanent transport roles matched to fleet size, network and systems.

Our approach in Bothwell

Right planner, right network, right systems

Systems experience

We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.

The hours that fit

Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.

Compliance mindset

We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.

Pay, clearly

What transport planners and managers earn in Bothwell

Indicative permanent salaries in Bothwell run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.

Our benchmarks use current offers for comparable fleets rather than old salary surveys. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Brief, search, shortlist

Screening

Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.

The shortlist

A short list with notes on each candidate's fleet, systems and results.

The offer

We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.

Your brief

The brief that works

An empty planning desk costs more than the advert: overtime, missed slots and avoidable empty miles.

A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the planning day as it really runs, not its quietest shift.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The number and type of vehicles planned
  • The routing and scheduling systems in use
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
