Transport planning recruitment for Ivybridge operators who need a traffic office that plans ahead rather than firefights.
The transport manager is responsible for the operator's compliance. That is why we check the qualification before anything else.
Logistics around Ivybridge is defined by trunk-road distance from the national network, strong seasonal peaks and a large food and drink base. Across Devon & Cornwall, transport offices at sites such as the Cornwall A30 corridor and the Pool, Redruth and St Austell estates need planners who know the roads and the customers.
We ask candidates which routing software they use, how many vehicles they plan and what they have done about empty miles.
Across Devon & Cornwall, planners and transport managers are hired by food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers.
Transport roles for trunking, multi-drop, pallet network and dedicated operations.
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.
A short list of people who fit the fleet, with notes on systems, network and results.
Indicative permanent salaries in Ivybridge 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.
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.
We check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.
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.
