Transport planning recruitment for Rothesay operators who need a traffic office that plans ahead rather than firefights.
Transport planning is judged on cost per drop, vehicle utilisation and on-time delivery. We recruit people who move those numbers.
Operations at sites such as the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral and Bellshill, Grangemouth and the Clyde and Forth ports plan around delivery slots, drivers' hours and vehicle availability. We match planners to that reality.
Night planning, early starts and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
With the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen running through the region, transport planners across Scotland often plan national as well as local work.
Permanent transport roles matched to fleet size, network and systems.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.
We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.
Indicative permanent salaries in Rothesay run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Transport managers usually earn more than planners and national networks more than local ones. Local competition can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
A short list with notes on each candidate's fleet, systems and results.
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.
Interim cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when the office needs someone to own the plan.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the planning day as it really runs, not its quietest shift.
