We recruit the people who plan the routes, run the traffic office and keep Ealing and London & the South East fleets compliant.
A good traffic office is invisible: vehicles leave on time, drivers stay legal and customers get what they were promised.
Ealing is served by the capital's dense network of fulfilment, parcel and airfreight operations, which makes good permanent people both vital and hard to keep. We recruit the transport office people who keep that freight moving.
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.
Planners working at sites such as London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt rarely need to apply for jobs. We approach them directly.
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 ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.
Indicative permanent salaries in Ealing 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.
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.
We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
Good planners become transport managers. Hiring well now builds the succession plan.
Many transport managers started as planners. We recruit for both steps of that career.
A strong transport brief covers:

Yes. We recruit fleet managers and maintenance controllers who look after vehicle compliance and cost.
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.
Good systems, sensible hours, a manager who trusts the plan and pay in line with the market.
