Transport Planning Recruitment in Harrow

Transport planning recruitment for Harrow operators who need a traffic office that plans ahead rather than firefights.

London & the South East

Permanent transport managers for Harrow

Strong planners are rarely out of work, so the search reaches people who are not looking.

Transport vacancies across London & the South East come from last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs. Each needs people who can plan for cost and compliance at once.

We ask candidates which routing software they use, how many vehicles they plan and what they have done about empty miles.

With the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury running through the region, transport planners across London & the South East often plan national as well as local work.

Positions we place

From planners to network managers

The people who plan the work and the people who keep it legal.

What sets the desk apart

A transport desk, not a generalist agency

Qualifications checked

The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.

Systems experience

We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.

Compliance mindset

We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.

What the market pays

What transport planners and managers earn in Harrow

Indicative permanent salaries in Harrow 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.

How it works

What happens after you brief us

The brief

Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.

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.

Your brief

What we ask at the start

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

Many transport managers started as planners. We recruit for both steps of that career.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The number and type of vehicles planned
  • The routing and scheduling systems in use
  • Hours, nights and on-call expectations
  • The measures that matter: cost per drop, utilisation and on-time delivery
