We recruit the people who plan the routes, run the traffic office and keep Cramlington and the North East fleets compliant.
Transport planning is judged on cost per drop, vehicle utilisation and on-time delivery. We recruit people who move those numbers.
Operations at sites such as the A1(M) and A19 corridor, the Port of Tyne, Teesport and the automotive supply-chain parks plan around delivery slots, drivers' hours and vehicle availability. We match planners to that reality.
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.
Transport demand across the North East follows automotive and process-industry supply chains, port and container logistics and retail DCs.
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.
We benchmark salary, on-call pay and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Cramlington 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.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
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.
An empty planning desk costs more than the advert: overtime, missed slots and avoidable empty miles.
When a transport role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the hours, the pay or the systems are the obstacle. Then we tell you.
