Planners who cut empty miles and managers who keep the operator's licence safe, recruited for Howden fleets.
The transport manager is responsible for the operator's compliance. That is why we check the qualification before anything else.
Across the Humber & East Yorkshire, many transport offices sit at sites such as Goole and the M62 eastern corridor distribution parks. We search for planners and managers who already know that market.
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 the Humber & East Yorkshire, planners and transport managers are hired by port and bulk terminal operators, offshore wind and renewables supply chains, chemicals and food processing and rail-linked 3PLs.
Permanent transport roles matched to fleet size, network and systems.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Howden run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
A clear offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before it goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.
Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
An empty planning desk costs more than the advert: overtime, missed slots and avoidable empty miles.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the planning day as it really runs, not its quietest shift.
