From night planners to network managers, we find permanent transport office people for City of London operations.
A permanent transport hire should make the operation cheaper to run and easier to keep compliant.
Transport employers across London & the South East include e-commerce and grocery fulfilment operations, parcel and last-mile carriers, airfreight forwarders and retail distribution centres. Each plans a different kind of work, so we recruit to the network rather than the title.
A transport offer competes with every haulier and 3PL within reach. We help set salary, on-call pay and bonus so it lands first time.
With the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury running through the region, transport planners across London & the South East often plan national as well as local work.
Permanent roles across the traffic office, from planners to transport managers.
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.
For a new contract we can recruit the planners and the manager together, timed to the start date.
Indicative permanent salaries in City of London 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.
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 arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.
Interim cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when the office needs someone to own the plan.
Many transport managers started as planners. We recruit for both steps of that career.
A strong transport brief covers:
Loading live roles…
On GOV.UK's list, a transport manager makes sure drivers have a valid licence, vehicles are taxed, insured, properly maintained and have a valid MOT, vehicles are loaded safely and not overloaded, drivers do not speed or break the drivers' hours rules and the operator does not break safety rules.
We confirm qualifications such as the Transport Manager CPC, check right to work and ask about the fleets, networks and systems they have run.
Yes. We recruit fleet managers and maintenance controllers who look after vehicle compliance and cost.
Upload your CV and tell us the fleet size, network and systems you know. We contact you when a permanent role fits.
GOV.UK describes an internal transport manager as employed by a single operator and an external transport manager as a freelance manager working for more than one operator.
