Transport planning recruitment for Loughborough operators who need a traffic office that plans ahead rather than firefights.
Strong planners are rarely out of work, so the search reaches people who are not looking.
Transport vacancies across the East Midlands come from big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations. Each needs people who can plan for cost and compliance at once.
We ask candidates which routing software they use, how many vehicles they plan and what they have done about empty miles.
The strongest transport candidates across the East Midlands are usually already planning for operators at sites such as the M1 and A14 corridors and the East Midlands Airport freight hub.
Permanent transport roles matched to fleet size, network and systems.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
For a new contract we can recruit the planners and the manager together, timed to the start date.
Indicative permanent salaries in Loughborough run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Transport managers usually earn more than planners and national networks more than local ones. Local competition can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.
Planners and managers who are looking and those who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.
An operator with a standard licence needs a transport manager. Continuity in that role keeps compliance steady.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the planning day as it really runs, not its quietest shift.
