Permanent transport planning and management recruitment across the Highlands & Islands.
We look for planners who have planned your kind of work: trunking, multi-drop, pallet networks or dedicated contracts.
Fleets across the Highlands & Islands depend on the A9 and A82, Inverness Airport and the ferry links to Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles. Planners who know those links plan tighter days.
Trunking networks, multi-drop rounds and dedicated contracts need different planners. We recruit each one differently.
Transport office roles across the Highlands & Islands are spread across operators at sites such as the Inverness Airport Business Park and the Cromarty Firth ports at Invergordon and Nisbet.
From night planners to heads of transport.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Wick run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
A clear offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before it goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
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.
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 cover operators across Scotland. Tell us where the traffic office is and we will search the commute around it.
Upload your CV and tell us the fleet size, network and systems you know. We contact you when a permanent role fits.
