We recruit the people who plan the routes, run the traffic office and keep North Shields and the North East fleets compliant.
We look for planners who have planned your kind of work: trunking, multi-drop, pallet networks or dedicated contracts.
Fleets across the North East depend on the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport. Planners who know those links plan tighter days.
We ask candidates which routing software they use, how many vehicles they plan and what they have done about empty miles.
Planners working at sites such as the A1(M) and A19 corridor, the Port of Tyne, Teesport and the automotive supply-chain parks rarely need to apply for jobs. We approach them directly.
From night planners to heads of transport.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.
We benchmark salary, on-call pay and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in North Shields run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Transport managers usually earn more than planners and national networks more than local ones. Local competition can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.
An operator with a standard licence needs a transport manager. Continuity in that role keeps compliance steady.
Strong planners value good systems, a manager who backs their decisions and customers who plan ahead.
