Planners who cut empty miles and managers who keep the operator's licence safe, recruited for Lancaster fleets.
Every transport candidate we put forward has been checked on qualifications, systems and the fleets they have run.
Transport employers across the North West include port and intermodal operators, chilled and grocery distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and manufacturing logistics. Each plans a different kind of work, so we recruit to the network rather than the title.
Night planning, early starts and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
Transport office roles across the North West are spread across operators at sites such as Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool.
The people who plan the work and the people who keep it legal.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.
A short list of people who fit the fleet, with notes on systems, network and results.
Indicative permanent salaries in Lancaster 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.
Planners and managers who are looking and those who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
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.
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.
