Transport Planning Recruitment in Huntingdon

From night planners to network managers, we find permanent transport office people for Huntingdon operations.

East of England

Recruiting transport managers in Huntingdon

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

Fleets across the East of England depend on the A14, M11, A1(M) and A12, the Port of Felixstowe and London Stansted Airport. Planners who know those links plan tighter days.

Taking on a new contract? We can recruit the planners and the transport manager together so the traffic office is ready on day one.

Planners working at sites such as the Port of Felixstowe and the A14 corridor, Stansted and the parks along the A1 and M11 rarely need to apply for jobs. We approach them directly.

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

Your brief

Before we start searching

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

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

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The network: trunking, multi-drop, pallet or dedicated
  • Whether the role is the nominated transport manager
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
  • Your interview process and any planning exercise
