Permanent transport planners, schedulers and CPC-qualified transport managers for operators in Blackpool.
We look for planners who have planned your kind of work: trunking, multi-drop, pallet networks or dedicated contracts.
Transport vacancies across the North West come from retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics. Each needs people who can plan for cost and compliance at once.
Night planning, early starts and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
Planners working at sites such as Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool rarely need to apply for jobs. We approach them directly.
Transport roles for trunking, multi-drop, pallet network and dedicated operations.
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.
We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.
Indicative permanent salaries in Blackpool 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.
We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.
A permanent planner learns your customers, your drivers and your routes. That knowledge makes every week's plan better.
Planners who leave early often cite the hours, on-call demands or an office that never plans ahead. We raise all three first.
