Planners who cut empty miles and managers who keep the operator's licence safe, recruited for Daventry fleets.
A good traffic office is invisible: vehicles leave on time, drivers stay legal and customers get what they were promised.
Fleets across the East Midlands depend on the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. Planners who know those links plan tighter days.
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.
The people who plan the work and the people who keep it legal.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.
A short list of people who fit the fleet, with notes on systems, network and results.
Indicative permanent salaries in Daventry run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
A clear offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before it goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
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.
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.
