Permanent transport planners, schedulers and CPC-qualified transport managers for operators in Billingham.
Transport planning is judged on cost per drop, vehicle utilisation and on-time delivery. We recruit people who move those numbers.
Billingham draws on the Tees Valley labour market — port, chemical and heavy-manufacturing logistics rather than urban parcel work. We recruit the transport office people who keep that freight moving.
When the Billingham market is thin for transport talent, we look further along the commute and give you an honest view of the likely shortlist.
Transport office roles across the Tees Valley are spread across operators at sites such as Teesport and the Teesside Freeport estates.
Permanent transport roles matched to fleet size, network and systems.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.
Indicative permanent salaries in Billingham run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Salary is only part of the offer. Candidates compare on-call pay, bonus, hybrid working and the size of the fleet they will run. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.
We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.
Good planners become transport managers. Hiring well now builds the succession plan.
When a transport role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the hours, the pay or the systems are the obstacle. Then we tell you.
