Planners who cut empty miles and managers who keep the operator's licence safe, recruited for Mansfield fleets.
We look for planners who have planned your kind of work: trunking, multi-drop, pallet networks or dedicated contracts.
From rail-connected freight to e-commerce fulfilment, employers around Mansfield compete for experienced permanent people in the UK's distribution heartland. Across the East Midlands, transport offices at sites such as the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall need planners who know the roads and the customers.
Night planning, early starts and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
Across the East Midlands, planners and transport managers are hired by national distribution centres, airfreight and express operators, e-commerce fulfilment and contract logistics.
