Transport planning recruitment for Kirkby-in-Ashfield operators who need a traffic office that plans ahead rather than firefights.
A permanent transport hire should make the operation cheaper to run and easier to keep compliant.
Fleets across the East Midlands depend on the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. Planners who know those links plan tighter days.
Night planning, early starts and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
Across the East Midlands, planners and transport managers are hired by big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations.
The people who plan the work and the people who keep it legal.
We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
We benchmark salary, on-call pay and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
For a new contract we can recruit the planners and the manager together, timed to the start date.
Indicative permanent salaries in Kirkby-in-Ashfield run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Transport office pay in the East Midlands 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.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.
We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
A transport manager who knows the fleet's history spots maintenance and compliance risks earlier.
Notice periods for transport managers can be long, so we plan the handover from the first call.
