Transport Planning Recruitment in Fareham

From night planners to network managers, we find permanent transport office people for Fareham operations.

South East

Recruiting transport managers in Fareham

Transport planning is judged on cost per drop, vehicle utilisation and on-time delivery. We recruit people who move those numbers.

Transport employers across the South East include retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 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.

Planners working at sites such as the Dartford and Thames-side parks and the M20 route to the Channel rarely need to apply for jobs. We approach them directly.

How it works

From brief to start date

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.

Settling in

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

Your brief

Before we start searching

An empty planning desk costs more than the advert: overtime, missed slots and avoidable empty miles.

Notice periods for transport managers can be long, so we plan the handover from the first call.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • Hours, nights and on-call expectations
  • 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
