We recruit the people who plan the routes, run the traffic office and keep Lockerbie and Scotland fleets compliant.

Lockerbie transport planning recruitment

We look for planners who have planned your kind of work: trunking, multi-drop, pallet networks or dedicated contracts.

Transport employers across southern Scotland include cross-border hauliers, food and drink manufacturers, textiles and timber supply chains. Each plans a different kind of work, so we recruit to the network rather than the title.

When the Lockerbie market is thin for transport talent, we look further along the commute and give you an honest view of the likely shortlist.

The strongest transport candidates across southern Scotland are usually already planning for operators at sites such as the Cairnryan ferry terminals and the A75 Irish Sea freight route.
