Transport Planning Recruitment in Jarrow

Permanent transport planners, schedulers and CPC-qualified transport managers for operators in Jarrow.

North East

Hiring transport people for good in Jarrow

Every transport candidate we put forward has been checked on qualifications, systems and the fleets they have run.

Operations at sites such as Teesport (PD Ports), the Port of Tyne and the automotive and chemicals parks along the A19 plan around delivery slots, drivers' hours and vehicle availability. We match planners to that reality.

A transport offer competes with every haulier and 3PL within reach. We help set salary, on-call pay and bonus so it lands first time.

With the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport running through the region, transport planners across the North East often plan national as well as local work.

Right planner, right network, right systems

The hours that fit

Compliance mindset

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

Through the first months

We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.

How it works

Brief, search, shortlist

The brief

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

Qualification check

For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.

The search

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

Your brief

The brief that works

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

When a transport role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the hours, the pay or the systems are the obstacle. Then we tell you.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The routing and scheduling systems in use
  • Hours, nights and on-call expectations
  • Whether the role is the nominated transport manager
  • The measures that matter: cost per drop, utilisation and on-time delivery

Transport FAQs

Before you ask

What does a transport manager do?

On GOV.UK's list, a transport manager makes sure drivers have a valid licence, vehicles are taxed, insured, properly maintained and have a valid MOT, vehicles are loaded safely and not overloaded, drivers do not speed or break the drivers' hours rules and the operator does not break safety rules.

Do you recruit for operators outside Jarrow?

Yes. We cover operators across the North East. Tell us where the traffic office is and we will search the commute around it.

Can you recruit a traffic office for a new contract?

Yes. We can recruit planners, supervisors and the transport manager together, timed to the contract start.

What is the difference between an internal and an external transport manager?

GOV.UK describes an internal transport manager as employed by a single operator and an external transport manager as a freelance manager working for more than one operator.

What makes a transport planner stay?

Good systems, sensible hours, a manager who trusts the plan and pay in line with the market.
