The traffic office talent that keeps Newham vehicles legal, loaded and on time.
Strong planners are rarely out of work, so the search reaches people who are not looking.
Operations at sites such as London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt plan around delivery slots, drivers' hours and vehicle availability. We match planners to that reality.
A planner who leaves after a few months takes the knowledge of your routes and customers with them. Getting the hire right protects both.
Transport demand across London & the South East follows last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs.
Permanent roles across the traffic office, from planners to transport managers.
A short list of people who fit the fleet, with notes on systems, network and results.
For a new contract we can recruit the planners and the manager together, timed to the start date.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Newham run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Salary is only part of the offer. Candidates compare on-call pay, bonus, hybrid working and the size of the fleet they will run. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.
Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
We check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.
A permanent planner learns your customers, your drivers and your routes. That knowledge makes every week's plan better.
Many transport managers started as planners. We recruit for both steps of that career.
