Permanent transport planning and management recruitment across the West Midlands.
A good traffic office is invisible: vehicles leave on time, drivers stay legal and customers get what they were promised.
Operations at sites such as the M6 and M42 corridor parks and the Birmingham industrial estates plan around delivery slots, drivers' hours and vehicle availability. We match planners to that reality.
Trunking networks, multi-drop rounds and dedicated contracts need different planners. We recruit each one differently.
Across the West Midlands, planners and transport managers are hired by national 3PLs, automotive and manufacturing supply chains and large retail distribution centres.
Permanent roles across the traffic office, from planners to transport managers.
We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
A short list of people who fit the fleet, with notes on systems, network and results.
Indicative permanent salaries in Halesowen run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Our benchmarks use current offers for comparable fleets rather than old salary surveys. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
We check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.
An operator with a standard licence needs a transport manager. Continuity in that role keeps compliance steady.
Planners who leave early often cite the hours, on-call demands or an office that never plans ahead. We raise all three first.
