Transport Planning Recruitment in Liverpool

The traffic office talent that keeps Liverpool vehicles legal, loaded and on time.

Merseyside

Planners and schedulers in Liverpool

We look for planners who have planned your kind of work: trunking, multi-drop, pallet networks or dedicated contracts.

Across Merseyside, many transport offices sit at sites such as the Liverpool2 deep-water terminal, Knowsley, Sefton and the Estuary corridor. We search for planners and managers who already know that market.

A planner who leaves after a few months takes the knowledge of your routes and customers with them. Getting the hire right protects both.

With the M57, M58, M62 and M6, Liverpool John Lennon Airport and the Port of Liverpool running through the region, transport planners across Merseyside often plan national as well as local work.

Your brief

Setting up the search

A permanent planner learns your customers, your drivers and your routes. That knowledge makes every week's plan better.

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 number and type of vehicles planned
  • Hours, nights and on-call expectations
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
