From night planners to network managers, we find permanent transport office people for Johnstone operations.
The transport manager is responsible for the operator's compliance. That is why we check the qualification before anything else.
Johnstone 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, Bellshill and Newhouse need planners who know the roads and the customers.
Trunking networks, multi-drop rounds and dedicated contracts need different planners. We recruit each one differently.
Across Scotland, planners and transport managers are hired by grocery and retail DCs, food and drink supply chains, energy and port logistics and national 3PLs.
Permanent roles across the traffic office, from planners to transport managers.
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.
We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.
Indicative permanent salaries in Johnstone run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Salary is only part of the offer. Candidates compare on-call pay, bonus, hybrid working and the size of the fleet they will run. 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.
A short list with notes on each candidate's fleet, systems and results.
An empty planning desk costs more than the advert: overtime, missed slots and avoidable empty miles.
We ask candidates why they left their last traffic office. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
