Full job description

About McPherson

McPherson Ltd is an established multi-site logistics operation based in Moray, running a fleet with around 350 drivers across Scotland. We work with distilleries, producers and processors across the region, moving everything from bulk items and liquids to co-products, and we're investing in the systems and people that keep the operation running at its best.

The role

No transport experience needed. We'll teach you.

Transport planning is the job of working out who goes where, in what, and when. Every day the work comes in, and someone has to match it to the right vehicles and the right drivers, then handle it when a lorry breaks down, a customer moves a slot, or the weather closes a road.

It's a puzzle that changes all day, and it's a proper career.

We're looking for someone organised and quick-thinking who wants to learn it properly, alongside an experienced team who'll teach you the job.

What you'll be learning

Starting with the basics and building up as you go:

How the daily plan is built, and why it's built that way
Allocating work to vehicles and drivers
Speaking with drivers about their day
Keeping customers updated on collections and deliveries
Recording work accurately in our transport system
The rules that govern the industry, including drivers' hours, vehicle types and what can legally go where
How to re-plan when the day goes sideways, which it will

Within a year you'll be running your own desk.

What you'll need

Essential

Organised, with real attention to detail
Comfortable holding several things at once without dropping any
Confident on a computer and happy to learn new systems
A clear, straightforward communicator, as you'll be on the phone a lot
Calm when things get busy
Willing to make a decision and stand behind it
Full UK driving licence

Not required

Any transport or logistics experience
Any specific qualifications

Who this suits

You don't need to have worked in transport. You do need to have handled a busy day where lots of things needed to happen at once.

If you've run a shift in hospitality, managed a rota, coordinated jobs for a trades team, worked a service desk, run a busy retail floor, or organised anything where the plan changed hourly, you already have the instincts. We'll teach you the rest.

Ideal if you're looking for a career rather than a job and want to learn something you can build on.

What we offer

£28,500 to start, moving to £30,000 once you qualify as a planner
28 days holiday including bank holidays
Full training on the job, with an experienced team supporting you
Funded training and professional development
An established local business with a long-term future
A genuine route into a skilled career in Moray

Job Types: Permanent, Full-time

Pay: From £28,500.00 per year

Benefits:

Company pension
On-site parking

Ability to commute/relocate:

Aberlour AB38 9LB: reliably commute or plan to relocate before starting work (required)

Work Location: In person
