Permanent transport planners, schedulers and CPC-qualified transport managers for operators in Stonehaven.
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 Aberdeen harbour and the energy-supply bases at Altens and Tullos plan around delivery slots, drivers' hours and vehicle availability. We match planners to that reality.
A planner who leaves after a few months takes the knowledge of your routes and customers with them. Getting the hire right protects both.
With the A90 and A96, Aberdeen harbour and Aberdeen International Airport running through the region, transport planners across North East Scotland often plan national as well as local work.
The people who plan the work and the people who keep it legal.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
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 Stonehaven run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Our benchmarks use current offers for comparable fleets rather than old salary surveys. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.
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.
