Transport Planning Recruitment in Milngavie

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

Scotland

Milngavie transport planning recruitment

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

Across Scotland, many transport offices sit at sites such as the M74 and M9 corridors and the Clyde and Forth port estates. We search for planners and managers who already know that market.

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.

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.

How we work with Milngavie fleets

A shortlist of people who can plan

Matched to the network

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

Systems experience

We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.

The hours that fit

Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.

Pay benchmarks

What transport planners and managers earn in Milngavie

Indicative permanent salaries in Milngavie run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.

A clear offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before it goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Three stages to a hire

Screening

Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.

The offer

We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.

Settling in

We check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

An empty planning desk costs more than the advert: overtime, missed slots and avoidable empty miles.

A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the planning day as it really runs, not its quietest shift.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The number and type of vehicles planned
  • The routing and scheduling systems in use
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
  • Your interview process and any planning exercise
