Permanent transport planning and management recruitment across the West Midlands.
Strong planners are rarely out of work, so the search reaches people who are not looking.
Operations at sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54 plan around delivery slots, drivers' hours and vehicle availability. We match planners to that reality.
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.
With the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections running through the region, transport planners across the West Midlands often plan national as well as local work.
Planning, scheduling, compliance and fleet roles.
We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
For a new contract we can recruit the planners and the manager together, timed to the start date.
Indicative permanent salaries in Birmingham 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.
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 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.
Planners who leave early often cite the hours, on-call demands or an office that never plans ahead. We raise all three first.
