Permanent transport planning and management recruitment across the Highlands & Islands.
We look for planners who have planned your kind of work: trunking, multi-drop, pallet networks or dedicated contracts.
Operations at sites such as the Inverness Airport Business Park and the Cromarty Firth ports at Invergordon and Nisbet plan around delivery slots, drivers' hours and vehicle availability. We match planners to that reality.
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.
Transport demand across the Highlands & Islands follows distillery and agri-food supply chains, marine and renewables logistics plus multi-modal operators serving the islands.
Permanent roles across the traffic office, from planners to transport managers.
We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
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 Oban 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 help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
We check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.
For Oban operators with a growing fleet, the right permanent planner can pay for the role in miles saved.
We ask candidates why they left their last traffic office. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
