Transport Planning Recruitment in Milton Keynes

Permanent transport planners, schedulers and CPC-qualified transport managers for operators in Milton Keynes.

Buckinghamshire

Traffic office hiring across Milton Keynes

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

Fleets across Buckinghamshire depend on the M1, A5 and A421, with East Midlands and Luton airports and the West Coast Main Line. Planners who know those links plan tighter days.

Trunking networks, multi-drop rounds and dedicated contracts need different planners. We recruit each one differently.

Transport demand across Buckinghamshire follows Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.

Matched to the network

Compliance mindset

We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.

Traffic offices for new contracts

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

Your brief

Your hiring brief

A transport manager who knows the fleet's history spots maintenance and compliance risks earlier.

A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the planning day as it really runs, not its quietest shift.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The routing and scheduling systems in use
  • Hours, nights and on-call expectations
  • The measures that matter: cost per drop, utilisation and on-time delivery
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
