We recruit the people who plan the routes, run the traffic office and keep Greenwich and London & the South East fleets compliant.
We look for planners who have planned your kind of work: trunking, multi-drop, pallet networks or dedicated contracts.
Across London & the South East, many transport offices sit at sites such as London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt. We search for planners and managers who already know that market.
Night planning, early starts and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
Across London & the South East, planners and transport managers are hired by last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs.
Planning, scheduling, compliance and fleet roles.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.
We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Greenwich run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.

A short list with notes on each candidate's fleet, systems and results.
