We recruit the people who plan the routes, run the traffic office and keep Tarbert and Scotland fleets compliant.
Transport planning is judged on cost per drop, vehicle utilisation and on-time delivery. We recruit people who move those numbers.
Across the Highlands & Islands, many transport offices sit at sites such as the Inverness Airport Business Park and the Cromarty Firth ports at Invergordon and Nisbet. We search for planners and managers who already know that market.
Trunking networks, multi-drop rounds and dedicated contracts need different planners. We recruit each one differently.
Across the Highlands & Islands, planners and transport managers are hired by distillery and agri-food supply chains, marine and renewables logistics plus multi-modal operators serving the islands.
From night planners to heads of transport.
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 benchmark salary, on-call pay and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Tarbert 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.
For Tarbert 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.
