Transport Planning Recruitment in Dundee

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

Tayside & Fife

Hiring transport people for good in Dundee

Every transport candidate we put forward has been checked on qualifications, systems and the fleets they have run.

Operations at sites such as the Port of Dundee and the Dundee and Perth industrial estates plan around delivery slots, drivers' hours and vehicle availability. We match planners to that reality.

We ask candidates which routing software they use, how many vehicles they plan and what they have done about empty miles.

Transport demand across Tayside & Fife follows food and drink manufacturing, soft-fruit and agri-food distribution, life sciences and regional 3PLs.

Matched to the network

Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.

Compliance mindset

Your brief

The brief that works

For Dundee operators with a growing fleet, the right permanent planner can pay for the role in miles saved.

Planners who leave early often cite the hours, on-call demands or an office that never plans ahead. We raise all three first.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The number and type of vehicles planned
  • Hours, nights and on-call expectations
  • Salary, bonus and on-call pay
  • Your interview process and any planning exercise
