The traffic office talent that keeps Dingwall vehicles legal, loaded and on time.
Transport planning is judged on cost per drop, vehicle utilisation and on-time delivery. We recruit people who move those numbers.
Transport employers across the Highlands & Islands include distillery and agri-food supply chains, marine and renewables logistics plus multi-modal operators serving the islands. Each plans a different kind of work, so we recruit to the network rather than the title.
Trunking networks, multi-drop rounds and dedicated contracts need different planners. We recruit each one differently.
Operators at sites such as Fort William, Oban and the west-coast ferry ports compete for the same experienced planners, which is why pay moves quickly.
Planning, scheduling, compliance and fleet roles.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
For a new contract we can recruit the planners and the manager together, timed to the start date.
Indicative permanent salaries in Dingwall 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.
Planners and managers who are looking and those who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
We check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.
A permanent planner learns your customers, your drivers and your routes. That knowledge makes every week's plan better.
When a transport role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the hours, the pay or the systems are the obstacle. Then we tell you.
