Planners who cut empty miles and managers who keep the operator's licence safe, recruited for Perth fleets.
A good traffic office is invisible: vehicles leave on time, drivers stay legal and customers get what they were promised.
Fleets across Tayside & Fife depend on the A90, M90 and A9, the Port of Dundee and Rosyth. Planners who know those links plan tighter days.
Night planning, early starts and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
Transport demand across Tayside & Fife follows food and drink manufacturing, soft-fruit and agri-food distribution, life sciences and regional 3PLs.
The people who plan the work and the people who keep it legal.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
We benchmark salary, on-call pay and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
A short list of people who fit the fleet, with notes on systems, network and results.
Indicative permanent salaries in Perth 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.
For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.
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.
Strong planners value good systems, a manager who backs their decisions and customers who plan ahead.
