Transport planning recruitment for Chipping Sodbury operators who need a traffic office that plans ahead rather than firefights.
The transport manager is responsible for the operator's compliance. That is why we check the qualification before anything else.
Transport employers across the South West include food and drink manufacturers, aerospace and defence supply chains, retail distribution and regional hauliers. Each plans a different kind of work, so we recruit to the network rather than the title.
Taking on a new contract? We can recruit the planners and the transport manager together so the traffic office is ready on day one.
Transport office roles across the South West are spread across operators at sites such as Avonmouth, Severnside and the M5 corridor running down to the West Country.
The people who plan the work and the people who keep it legal.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.
We benchmark salary, on-call pay and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
A short list of people who fit the fleet, with notes on systems, network and results.
Indicative permanent salaries in Chipping Sodbury 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 transport manager who knows the fleet's history spots maintenance and compliance risks earlier.
Strong planners value good systems, a manager who backs their decisions and customers who plan ahead.
