We recruit the people who plan the routes, run the traffic office and keep Ely and the East of England fleets compliant.
Strong planners are rarely out of work, so the search reaches people who are not looking.
Ely sits in the East of England, anchored by Felixstowe — the UK's busiest container port — and the A14 freight corridor that carries its boxes inland. We recruit the transport office people who keep that freight moving.
We ask candidates which routing software they use, how many vehicles they plan and what they have done about empty miles.
Operators at sites such as the Haven ports and the A14 corridor parks compete for the same experienced planners, which is why pay moves quickly.
From night planners to heads of transport.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.
We benchmark salary, on-call pay and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
A short list of people who fit the fleet, with notes on systems, network and results.
Indicative permanent salaries in Ely run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Candidates weigh the whole package: salary, hours, on-call, holiday and the culture of the traffic office. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.
Planners and managers who are looking and those who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
Good planners become transport managers. Hiring well now builds the succession plan.
Strong planners value good systems, a manager who backs their decisions and customers who plan ahead.
