We recruit the people who plan the routes, run the traffic office and keep Braintree and the East of England fleets compliant.
We look for planners who have planned your kind of work: trunking, multi-drop, pallet networks or dedicated contracts.
Braintree sits in the East of England, anchored by Felixstowe — the UK's busiest container port — and the A14 freight corridor that carries its boxes inland. We recruit the transport office people who keep that freight moving.
Trunking networks, multi-drop rounds and dedicated contracts need different planners. We recruit each one differently.
Operators at sites such as the Port of Felixstowe and the A14 corridor, Stansted and the parks along the A1 and M11 compete for the same experienced planners, which is why pay moves quickly.
Planning, scheduling, compliance and fleet roles.
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.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Braintree 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.
For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.
Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
A transport manager who knows the fleet's history spots maintenance and compliance risks earlier.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the planning day as it really runs, not its quietest shift.
