Contract Scotland is a recruitment consultancy that was established to redefine recruitment and set a new standard, to challenge how the recruitment industry works.

We don’t work to a traditional target and commission model, which gives us the unique ability to provide our customers with a transparent recruitment service that delivers true value and lasting impact to their lives and businesses.

To continue delivering the highest quality recruitment within our sector, we need to add to our existing team

As a recruitment consultant, you’ll ultimately be responsible for finding and placing ‘good fit’ candidates into the right positions, with a wide range of employers.

You’ll manage the end-to-end hiring process, including sourcing and engaging with candidates, assessing CV’s, conducting & organising interviews, negotiating offers, and onboarding/providing aftercare. You’ll also build strong relationships with clients (both existing and new) to understand their hiring needs, and with candidates to guide them through career opportunities.

What can we give you;

A thorough and detailed training plan (our ‘Recruitment Academy’), delivered by a group with an average of 15 years of experience in construction & engineering recruitment.

A winning formula for recruitment (honed over 35 years), giving you all the structure and tools to be successful.

Access to a large range of businesses who we’ve supported over many years, with existing relationships and commercial agreements in place, as well as the chance to introduce our approach to new customers.

The best of recruitment technology & AI to support your hard work, allowing you to work as effectively as possible, reach/identify & assess candidates, communicate with your network, and turbocharge your marketing.

Ongoing support & encouragement from the team around you, to make you the best recruiter you can be, and achieve your longer term ambitions.

Your experience/personality;

We don’t need you to have existing experience in recruitment, although we’d be happy to see any that you do have.

Experience in some kind of sales/customer service is always useful, especially if it’s in business-to-business relationships.

What’s most important to us right now, is that you bring;

Energy & enthusiasm – this goes a long way in our team.  We want people who can help keep team morale & momentum high, even during challenging days, who are prepared & ready to get stuck in.
Adaptability/interested in change – this comes in two forms. Often, we pitch in to help each other out during busy spells, so we want people who are prepared to roll with that where needed. Technology & AI is also changing how recruitment works, and how we as individuals approach it. That’s all for the better, but you need to be keen & interested to adopt new technology as it arrives.
Ambition -  we want you to be driven to be the best at what you do.
Persuasive - we’re looking for people who can demonstrate how their likeability/influence will lead to success & strong relationships.

We have a comprehensive benefits package for the team at Contract Scotland, so you can expect;

A company car/car allowance scheme.
Quarterly bonus.
Excellent private health insurance (no excess) covering both physical & mental health.
Hybrid/remote working.
Enhanced annual leave allowance plus additional days for loyalty.
Extra day off on your birthday.
Use of a modern holiday home on the banks of Loch Ness.
Get in touch to discuss the role further/learn, or apply now and we’ll be in touch.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for UAV Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The UK's UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) sector has established itself as one of Europe's most dynamic and strategically important technology markets, with roles spanning from junior drone operators to principal UAV engineers and heads of autonomous systems development. With UAV positions commanding salaries from £28,000 for graduate drone pilots to £85,000+ for senior UAV systems engineers, understanding when organisations actively recruit can dramatically accelerate your career progression in this revolutionary and rapidly expanding field. Unlike traditional aviation roles, UAV hiring follows distinct patterns influenced by seasonal operations, government regulatory frameworks, and autonomous systems development timelines. The sector's unique combination of aeronautical engineering, autonomous control systems, and data analytics creates predictable hiring windows that strategic professionals can leverage to advance their careers in building tomorrow's unmanned aviation and autonomous aerial systems. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal timing for UAV job applications in the UK, examining how national drone strategies, seasonal operational cycles, and UAV technology initiatives influence recruitment patterns, and why strategic timing can determine whether you join a pioneering autonomous systems team or miss the opportunity to develop the next generation of unmanned aircraft and aerial intelligence systems.

Pre-Employment Checks for UAV Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) industry represents one of the most rapidly expanding and strategically significant sectors in modern aerospace, with UAV professionals playing crucial roles in developing autonomous flight systems, advancing drone technologies, and transforming applications from defence and surveillance to commercial delivery and agricultural monitoring. As UAVs transition from military applications to widespread civilian and commercial use, pre-employment screening processes have become increasingly sophisticated and regulatory-focused. UAV careers span diverse environments from defence contractors and aerospace manufacturers to commercial drone service providers, agricultural technology companies, and emerging urban air mobility developers. Each sector brings unique screening requirements reflecting the safety-critical nature of aviation systems, the regulatory complexity of airspace management, and the critical importance of maintaining both operational safety and security standards. Understanding UAV pre-employment screening helps professionals navigate career opportunities effectively whilst enabling employers to identify candidates capable of contributing to UAV innovation whilst maintaining appropriate aviation safety standards, regulatory compliance, and security awareness. The screening processes examine not only technical UAV competencies but also aviation safety knowledge, regulatory understanding, and ability to work effectively within the highly regulated aerospace ecosystem. This comprehensive guide examines the full spectrum of pre-employment screening practices across UAV careers, from basic right-to-work verification through enhanced security clearance processes, technical competency assessment, and industry-specific requirements. Whether pursuing opportunities in UAV design, autonomous systems development, remote piloting, or UAV operations management, understanding these screening processes enables UAV professionals to prepare effectively and advance their careers successfully. The UAV sector's unique combination of aerospace engineering, autonomous systems technology, and operational safety creates screening requirements that reflect both the technical demands of unmanned flight systems and the regulatory considerations of aviation safety and airspace integration. These processes ultimately support the continued advancement of UAVs by ensuring high professional standards and technical competence necessary for safe UAV operations and responsible drone technology development.

Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Launch Your Career in UAVs: The UK's Aerial Revolution

The United Kingdom stands at the forefront of an unmanned aerial vehicle revolution that's fundamentally transforming how we approach logistics, surveillance, agriculture, infrastructure inspection, and emergency response. From the advanced drone technologies developed by British companies powering delivery networks across Europe to the autonomous flight systems enabling Beyond Visual Line of Sight operations, the UK's leadership in UAV design, manufacturing, and operations has created an unprecedented demand for skilled drone professionals that dramatically exceeds the current talent supply. If you've been seeking a career at the cutting edge of aviation technology or looking to position yourself in one of the most rapidly expanding and strategically important sectors of the modern economy, unmanned aerial vehicles represent an extraordinary opportunity. The convergence of autonomous flight system advancement, commercial drone adoption acceleration, regulatory framework maturation, and artificial intelligence integration has created perfect conditions for UAV career success.
