Transport planning recruitment for Halifax operators who need a traffic office that plans ahead rather than firefights.
We look for planners who have planned your kind of work: trunking, multi-drop, pallet networks or dedicated contracts.
From rail-connected freight at iPort to Humber port handling, employers around Halifax compete for experienced permanent logistics people. Across Yorkshire, transport offices at sites such as the M62/M1 corridor, iPort Doncaster, Wakefield Europort and the Aire Valley need planners who know the roads and the customers.
Taking on a new contract? We can recruit the planners and the transport manager together so the traffic office is ready on day one.
Across Yorkshire, planners and transport managers are hired by retail and grocery distribution, rail-linked intermodal operators, manufacturing supply chains and regional 3PLs.
Permanent transport roles matched to fleet size, network and systems.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.
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 Halifax 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.
Planners and managers who are looking and those who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
A short list with notes on each candidate's fleet, systems and results.
We check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.
Interim cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when the office needs someone to own the plan.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the planning day as it really runs, not its quietest shift.
