Transport Planning Recruitment in Hexham

Planners who cut empty miles and managers who keep the operator's licence safe, recruited for Hexham fleets.

North East

Transport office talent for Hexham

A permanent transport hire should make the operation cheaper to run and easier to keep compliant.

Logistics around Hexham is driven by the A19 corridor, the region's deep-water ports and a strong automotive and process-industry base. We recruit the transport office people who keep that freight moving.

When the Hexham market is thin for transport talent, we look further along the commute and give you an honest view of the likely shortlist.

Planners working at sites such as the A19 corridor, Teesport and the Tyne and Wear distribution parks rarely need to apply for jobs. We approach them directly.

How it works

How a transport search runs

Planners and managers who are looking and those who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.

Your brief

What to put in the brief

Interim cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when the office needs someone to own the plan.

Notice periods for transport managers can be long, so we plan the handover from the first call.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • Hours, nights and on-call expectations
  • The measures that matter: cost per drop, utilisation and on-time delivery
  • Salary, bonus and on-call pay
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
