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

Night planning, early starts and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.

Your hiring brief

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

A strong transport brief covers:

  • Hours, nights and on-call expectations
  • Whether the role is the nominated transport manager
  • The measures that matter: cost per drop, utilisation and on-time delivery
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
