Transport Planning Recruitment in Nuneaton

From night planners to network managers, we find permanent transport office people for Nuneaton operations.

West Midlands

Planners and schedulers in Nuneaton

Strong planners are rarely out of work, so the search reaches people who are not looking.

Across the West Midlands, many transport offices sit at sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54. We search for planners and managers who already know that market.

We ask candidates which routing software they use, how many vehicles they plan and what they have done about empty miles.

Transport demand across the West Midlands follows automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators.

Your brief

Setting up the search

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.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • Hours, nights and on-call expectations
  • The measures that matter: cost per drop, utilisation and on-time delivery
  • Salary, bonus and on-call pay
  • The main problem the new hire should fix

Transport FAQs

Your questions

Do transport managers need a CPC?

Yes. GOV.UK says you need the Transport Manager Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) to become a transport manager. Operators with a standard national or international operator's licence need a transport manager.

What does a transport manager do?

On GOV.UK's list, a transport manager makes sure drivers have a valid licence, vehicles are taxed, insured, properly maintained and have a valid MOT, vehicles are loaded safely and not overloaded, drivers do not speed or break the drivers' hours rules and the operator does not break safety rules.

Can you recruit night planners?

Yes. Tell us the hours and the network so we approach planners who want night work and have done it before.

What is the difference between an internal and an external transport manager?

GOV.UK describes an internal transport manager as employed by a single operator and an external transport manager as a freelance manager working for more than one operator.

What makes a transport planner stay?

Good systems, sensible hours, a manager who trusts the plan and pay in line with the market.
