The traffic office talent that keeps Killingworth vehicles legal, loaded and on time.
Strong planners are rarely out of work, so the search reaches people who are not looking.
Transport vacancies across the North East come from automotive and process-industry supply chains, port and container logistics and retail DCs. Each needs people who can plan for cost and compliance at once.
Trunking networks, multi-drop rounds and dedicated contracts need different planners. We recruit each one differently.
The strongest transport candidates across the North East are usually already planning for operators at sites such as Teesport (PD Ports), the Port of Tyne and the automotive and chemicals parks along the A19.
From night planners to heads of transport.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.
A short list of people who fit the fleet, with notes on systems, network and results.
For a new contract we can recruit the planners and the manager together, timed to the start date.
Indicative permanent salaries in Killingworth run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Transport office pay in the North East moves with the size of the fleet, the network and the hours: night planning and on-call usually pay more. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

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.
We ask candidates why they left their last traffic office. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
