Permanent transport planning and management recruitment across Scotland.
A good traffic office is invisible: vehicles leave on time, drivers stay legal and customers get what they were promised.
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.
Trunking networks, multi-drop rounds and dedicated contracts need different planners. We recruit each one differently.
Planners working at sites such as the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral and Bellshill, Grangemouth and the Clyde and Forth ports rarely need to apply for jobs. We approach them directly.
From night planners to heads of transport.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.
We benchmark salary, on-call pay and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Cumbernauld run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
A clear offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before it goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
A short list with notes on each candidate's fleet, systems and results.
We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
A transport manager who knows the fleet's history spots maintenance and compliance risks earlier.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the planning day as it really runs, not its quietest shift.
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. We can recruit planners, supervisors and the transport manager together, timed to the contract start.
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.
Good systems, sensible hours, a manager who trusts the plan and pay in line with the market.
