Hiring a transport manager in Whitburn? We check the Transport Manager CPC first, then the experience behind it.
A good traffic office is invisible: vehicles leave on time, drivers stay legal and customers get what they were promised.
Operations at sites such as the M74 and M9 corridors and the Clyde and Forth port estates plan around delivery slots, drivers' hours and vehicle availability. We match planners to that reality.
A transport offer competes with every haulier and 3PL within reach. We help set salary, on-call pay and bonus so it lands first time.
Across Scotland, planners and transport managers are hired by retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs.
The people who plan the work and the people who keep it legal.
We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
A short list of people who fit the fleet, with notes on systems, network and results.
Indicative permanent salaries in Whitburn 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.
Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
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.
Interim cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when the office needs someone to own the plan.
Strong planners value good systems, a manager who backs their decisions and customers who plan ahead.
A strong transport brief covers:
Loading live roles…
Yes. We recruit permanent transport planners, schedulers and transport managers for operators across Scotland.
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.
Upload your CV and tell us the fleet size, network and systems you know. We contact you when a permanent role fits.
