Permanent transport planners, schedulers and CPC-qualified transport managers for operators in Ashington.
Every transport candidate we put forward has been checked on qualifications, systems and the fleets they have run.
Across the North East, many transport offices sit at sites such as the Port of Tyne and the Nissan and Washington supply-chain parks. We search for planners and managers who already know that market.
We ask candidates which routing software they use, how many vehicles they plan and what they have done about empty miles.
Transport demand across the North East follows automotive and chemicals supply chains, port and bulk logistics, retail distribution and regional 3PLs.
The people who plan the work and the people who keep it legal.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.
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 Ashington run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Transport office pay in the North East moves with the size of the fleet, the network and the hours: night planning and on-call usually pay more. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
A short list with notes on each candidate's fleet, systems and results.
We check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.
A transport manager who knows the fleet's history spots maintenance and compliance risks earlier.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the planning day as it really runs, not its quietest shift.
