Transport Planning Recruitment in Epping

Planners who cut empty miles and managers who keep the operator's licence safe, recruited for Epping fleets.

East of England

Transport office talent for Epping

The transport manager is responsible for the operator's compliance. That is why we check the qualification before anything else.

Logistics around Epping is shaped by container traffic through the Haven ports, plus a strong agri-food and retail distribution base. 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.

The strongest transport candidates across the East of England are usually already planning for operators at sites such as the A1(M) and A421 corridors and the Bedfordshire distribution estates.

How it works

How a transport search runs

The search

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

Screening

Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.

Interviews

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

Your brief

What to put in the brief

A permanent planner learns your customers, your drivers and your routes. That knowledge makes every week's plan better.

Many transport managers started as planners. We recruit for both steps of that career.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The routing and scheduling systems in use
  • The measures that matter: cost per drop, utilisation and on-time delivery
  • Salary, bonus and on-call pay
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
