The traffic office talent that keeps Basingstoke vehicles legal, loaded and on time.
Every transport candidate we put forward has been checked on qualifications, systems and the fleets they have run.
Transport vacancies across the South East come from retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each needs people who can plan for cost and compliance at once.
A planner who leaves after a few months takes the knowledge of your routes and customers with them. Getting the hire right protects both.
Transport office roles across the South East are spread across operators at sites such as the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick.
Permanent roles across the traffic office, from planners to transport managers.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.
A short list of people who fit the fleet, with notes on systems, network and results.
Indicative permanent salaries in Basingstoke run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Our benchmarks use current offers for comparable fleets rather than old salary surveys. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
Planners and managers who are looking and those who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.
An operator with a standard licence needs a transport manager. Continuity in that role keeps compliance steady.
Notice periods for transport managers can be long, so we plan the handover from the first call.
