Transport Planning Recruitment in Driffield

Transport planning recruitment for Driffield operators who need a traffic office that plans ahead rather than firefights.

Humber & East Yorkshire

Permanent transport managers for Driffield

Every transport candidate we put forward has been checked on qualifications, systems and the fleets they have run.

Transport employers across the Humber & East Yorkshire include port and bulk terminal operators, offshore wind and renewables supply chains, chemicals and food processing and rail-linked 3PLs. Each plans a different kind of work, so we recruit to the network rather than the title.

We ask candidates which routing software they use, how many vehicles they plan and what they have done about empty miles.

With the M62, the A63, the A15 and the ports of Hull, Immingham and Goole running through the region, transport planners across the Humber & East Yorkshire often plan national as well as local work.

Positions we place

From planners to network managers

The people who plan the work and the people who keep it legal.

What sets the desk apart

A transport desk, not a generalist agency

Qualifications checked

The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.

Matched to the network

Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.

Compliance mindset

We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.

What the market pays

What transport planners and managers earn in Driffield

Indicative permanent salaries in Driffield run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.

Where an offer is likely to fall short of the local market, we say so before interviews are booked. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.

We check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.

Your brief

What we ask at the start

Good planners become transport managers. Hiring well now builds the succession plan.

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.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The number and type of vehicles planned
  • The network: trunking, multi-drop, pallet or dedicated
  • The routing and scheduling systems in use
  • Whether the role is the nominated transport manager
