Transport Planning Recruitment in Berwick-upon-Tweed

We recruit the people who plan the routes, run the traffic office and keep Berwick-upon-Tweed and the North East fleets compliant.

North East

Berwick-upon-Tweed transport planning recruitment

We look for planners who have planned your kind of work: trunking, multi-drop, pallet networks or dedicated contracts.

Fleets across the North East depend on the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport. Planners who know those links plan tighter days.

A transport offer competes with every haulier and 3PL within reach. We help set salary, on-call pay and bonus so it lands first time.

Operators at sites such as Teesport (PD Ports), the Port of Tyne and the automotive and chemicals parks along the A19 compete for the same experienced planners, which is why pay moves quickly.

How we work with Berwick-upon-Tweed fleets

A shortlist of people who can plan

Matched to the network

Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.

The hours that fit

Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.

Compliance mindset

We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.

How it works

Three stages to a hire

The brief

Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.

Screening

Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.

Interviews

We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

A permanent planner learns your customers, your drivers and your routes. That knowledge makes every week's plan better.

Strong planners value good systems, a manager who backs their decisions and customers who plan ahead.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The number and type of vehicles planned
  • The routing and scheduling systems in use
  • The measures that matter: cost per drop, utilisation and on-time delivery
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
