Permanent transport planning and management recruitment across North East Scotland.
Transport planning is judged on cost per drop, vehicle utilisation and on-time delivery. We recruit people who move those numbers.
Across North East Scotland, many transport offices sit at sites such as the A90 corridor, Dyce and the Bridge of Don industrial estates. We search for planners and managers who already know that market.
A planner who leaves after a few months takes the knowledge of your routes and customers with them. Getting the hire right protects both.
Transport demand across North East Scotland follows energy supply-chain operators, seafood and agri-food distribution, chilled logistics and North Sea support services.
Permanent roles across the traffic office, from planners to transport managers.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
We benchmark salary, on-call pay and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
For a new contract we can recruit the planners and the manager together, timed to the start date.
Indicative permanent salaries in Peterhead run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Candidates weigh the whole package: salary, hours, on-call, holiday and the culture of the traffic office. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.
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.
Good planners become transport managers. Hiring well now builds the succession plan.
Planners who leave early often cite the hours, on-call demands or an office that never plans ahead. We raise all three first.
A strong transport brief covers:
Loading live roles…
Yes. GOV.UK says you need the Transport Manager Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) to become a transport manager. Operators with a standard national or international operator's licence need a transport manager.
On GOV.UK's list, a transport manager makes sure drivers have a valid licence, vehicles are taxed, insured, properly maintained and have a valid MOT, vehicles are loaded safely and not overloaded, drivers do not speed or break the drivers' hours rules and the operator does not break safety rules.
We confirm qualifications such as the Transport Manager CPC, check right to work and ask about the fleets, networks and systems they have run.
Yes. We can recruit planners, supervisors and the transport manager together, timed to the contract start.
Good systems, sensible hours, a manager who trusts the plan and pay in line with the market.
