Transport Planning Recruitment in Looe

Transport planning recruitment for Looe operators who need a traffic office that plans ahead rather than firefights.

Devon & Cornwall

Permanent transport managers for Looe

A good traffic office is invisible: vehicles leave on time, drivers stay legal and customers get what they were promised.

Transport employers across Devon & Cornwall include food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers. Each plans a different kind of work, so we recruit to the network rather than the title.

We ask candidates which routing software they use, how many vehicles they plan and what they have done about empty miles.

Operators at sites such as the Cornwall A30 corridor and the Pool, Redruth and St Austell estates compete for the same experienced planners, which is why pay moves quickly.

Positions we place

From planners to network managers

The people who plan the work and the people who keep it legal.

What sets the desk apart

A transport desk, not a generalist agency

Matched to the network

Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.

Traffic offices for new contracts

For a new contract we can recruit the planners and the manager together, timed to the start date.

Through the first months

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

What the market pays

What transport planners and managers earn in Looe

Indicative permanent salaries in Looe 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.

How it works

What happens after you brief us

The search

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

Screening

Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.

Settling in

We check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.

Your brief

What we ask at the start

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.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The network: trunking, multi-drop, pallet or dedicated
  • Hours, nights and on-call expectations
  • Salary, bonus and on-call pay
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
