Transport Planning Recruitment in Devizes

Permanent transport planning and management recruitment across the South West.

South West

A transport recruitment desk for Devizes

A good traffic office is invisible: vehicles leave on time, drivers stay legal and customers get what they were promised.

Operations at sites such as Avonmouth, Severnside and the M5 corridor running down to the West Country plan around delivery slots, drivers' hours and vehicle availability. We match planners to that reality.

A planner who leaves after a few months takes the knowledge of your routes and customers with them. Getting the hire right protects both.

Transport demand across the South West follows grocery and retail distribution, port and import logistics, aerospace supply chains and national 3PLs.

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

The shortlist

A short list with notes on each candidate's fleet, systems and results.

Interviews

We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

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

We ask candidates why they left their last traffic office. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The network: trunking, multi-drop, pallet or dedicated
  • The routing and scheduling systems in use
  • Whether the role is the nominated transport manager
  • The measures that matter: cost per drop, utilisation and on-time delivery
