We recruit the people who plan the routes, run the traffic office and keep East Kilbride and Scotland fleets compliant.
Strong planners are rarely out of work, so the search reaches people who are not looking.
Transport vacancies across Scotland come from whisky and food and drink distribution, retail and grocery DCs, port and intermodal operators and Scottish 3PLs. Each needs people who can plan for cost and compliance at once.
A transport offer competes with every haulier and 3PL within reach. We help set salary, on-call pay and bonus so it lands first time.
Operators at sites such as Eurocentral — one of the UK's largest rail-connected freight parks — Bellshill and the M8 distribution belt compete for the same experienced planners, which is why pay moves quickly.
Permanent roles across the traffic office, from planners to transport managers.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in East Kilbride run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Transport office pay in Scotland moves with the size of the fleet, the network and the hours: night planning and on-call usually pay more. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.
We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
An operator with a standard licence needs a transport manager. Continuity in that role keeps compliance steady.
Many transport managers started as planners. We recruit for both steps of that career.
