The traffic office talent that keeps Eastleigh vehicles legal, loaded and on time.
A permanent transport hire should make the operation cheaper to run and easier to keep compliant.
Eastleigh draws on the South East's deep logistics labour market, strung along the motorway corridors that feed London and the coast. We recruit the transport office people who keep that freight moving.
Taking on a new contract? We can recruit the planners and the transport manager together so the traffic office is ready on day one.
Planners working at sites such as the parks along the M25, M20 and M23 and the Solent ports rarely need to apply for jobs. We approach them directly.
From night planners to heads of transport.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.
Indicative permanent salaries in Eastleigh run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Salary is only part of the offer. Candidates compare on-call pay, bonus, hybrid working and the size of the fleet they will run. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.
A permanent planner learns your customers, your drivers and your routes. That knowledge makes every week's plan better.
Strong planners value good systems, a manager who backs their decisions and customers who plan ahead.
