Planners who cut empty miles and managers who keep the operator's licence safe, recruited for Kilmarnock fleets.
Transport planning is judged on cost per drop, vehicle utilisation and on-time delivery. We recruit people who move those numbers.
Logistics around Kilmarnock draws on Scotland's distribution, food-and-drink and energy supply chains, anchored by the M8 and the Clyde and Forth ports. We recruit the transport office people who keep that freight moving.
A planner who leaves after a few months takes the knowledge of your routes and customers with them. Getting the hire right protects both.
The strongest transport candidates across Scotland are usually already planning for operators at sites such as the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral, Bellshill and Newhouse.
Permanent transport roles matched to fleet size, network and systems.
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 Kilmarnock run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Where an offer is likely to fall short of the local market, we say so before interviews are booked. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Planners and managers who are looking and those who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.

An empty planning desk costs more than the advert: overtime, missed slots and avoidable empty miles.
Notice periods for transport managers can be long, so we plan the handover from the first call.
