The traffic office talent that keeps Featherstone vehicles legal, loaded and on time.
The transport manager is responsible for the operator's compliance. That is why we check the qualification before anything else.
Operations at sites such as the M62 corridor parks and the iPort rail terminal at Doncaster plan around delivery slots, drivers' hours and vehicle availability. We match planners to that reality.
Night planning, early starts and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
Across Yorkshire, planners and transport managers are hired by retail and online fulfilment operations, regional 3PLs, manufacturing distribution and Humber port logistics.
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.
We benchmark salary, on-call pay and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.
Indicative permanent salaries in Featherstone 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.
Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
A short list with notes on each candidate's fleet, systems and results.
Interim cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when the office needs someone to own the plan.
Strong planners value good systems, a manager who backs their decisions and customers who plan ahead.
A strong transport brief covers:
Loading live roles…
On GOV.UK's list, a transport manager makes sure drivers have a valid licence, vehicles are taxed, insured, properly maintained and have a valid MOT, vehicles are loaded safely and not overloaded, drivers do not speed or break the drivers' hours rules and the operator does not break safety rules.
