From night planners to network managers, we find permanent transport office people for Cambridge operations.

East of England

Recruiting transport managers in Cambridge

A permanent transport hire should make the operation cheaper to run and easier to keep compliant.

Transport vacancies across the East of England come from port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs. Each needs people who can plan for cost and compliance at once.

We ask candidates which routing software they use, how many vehicles they plan and what they have done about empty miles.

With the A14, M11, A1(M) and A12, the Port of Felixstowe and London Stansted Airport running through the region, transport planners across the East of England often plan national as well as local work.

How it works

From brief to start date

Qualification check

For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.

The search

Planners and managers who are looking and those who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.

Screening

Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.

Your brief

Before we start searching

A transport manager who knows the fleet's history spots maintenance and compliance risks earlier.

Planners who leave early often cite the hours, on-call demands or an office that never plans ahead. We raise all three first.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The number and type of vehicles planned
  • The network: trunking, multi-drop, pallet or dedicated
  • Hours, nights and on-call expectations
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
