The traffic office talent that keeps Buxton vehicles legal, loaded and on time.
A permanent transport hire should make the operation cheaper to run and easier to keep compliant.
Buxton sits in the East Midlands — the spiritual home of UK 'big-shed' logistics, with DIRFT and Magna Park among the country's largest distribution clusters. We recruit the transport office people who keep that freight moving.
Night planning, early starts and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
The strongest transport candidates across the East Midlands are usually already planning for operators at sites such as the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall.
Permanent roles across the traffic office, from planners to transport managers.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.
We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.
Indicative permanent salaries in Buxton run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Candidates weigh the whole package: salary, hours, on-call, holiday and the culture of the traffic office. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
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.
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.
