Permanent transport planning and management recruitment across Scotland.
A permanent transport hire should make the operation cheaper to run and easier to keep compliant.
Coatbridge is served by Scotland's logistics network, centred on the Central Belt's rail-connected freight parks. Across Scotland, transport offices at sites such as the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral and Bellshill, Grangemouth and the Clyde and Forth ports need planners who know the roads and the customers.
When the Coatbridge market is thin for transport talent, we look further along the commute and give you an honest view of the likely shortlist.
Transport demand across Scotland follows retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs.
Planning, scheduling, compliance and fleet roles.
We benchmark salary, on-call pay and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
A short list of people who fit the fleet, with notes on systems, network and results.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Coatbridge 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.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.
Planners and managers who are looking and those who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
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.
