Planners who cut empty miles and managers who keep the operator's licence safe, recruited for Atherton fleets.
A good traffic office is invisible: vehicles leave on time, drivers stay legal and customers get what they were promised.
Fleets across the North West depend on the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. Planners who know those links plan tighter days.
Night planning, early starts and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
Transport demand across the North West follows port and intermodal operators, chilled and grocery distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and manufacturing logistics.
Permanent transport roles matched to fleet size, network and systems.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.
We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
We benchmark salary, on-call pay and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Atherton run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Transport managers usually earn more than planners and national networks more than local ones. Local competition can move either figure. 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 help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
A transport manager who knows the fleet's history spots maintenance and compliance risks earlier.
We ask candidates why they left their last traffic office. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
