Transport Planning Recruitment in Luton

Permanent transport planning and management recruitment across the East of England.

East of England

Luton transport planning recruitment

A permanent transport hire should make the operation cheaper to run and easier to keep compliant.

Across the East of England, many transport offices sit at sites such as the Haven ports and the A14 corridor parks. We search for planners and managers who already know that market.

Taking on a new contract? We can recruit the planners and the transport manager together so the traffic office is ready on day one.

Transport demand across the East of England follows container and forwarding operators, agri-food and cold-chain distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and regional 3PLs.

How it works

Three stages to a hire

Screening

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

The shortlist

A short list with notes on each candidate's fleet, systems and results.

The offer

We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

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

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
  • Salary, bonus and on-call pay
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
