Transport Planning Recruitment in Oldbury

Hiring a transport manager in Oldbury? We check the Transport Manager CPC first, then the experience behind it.

West Midlands

Hiring transport people for good in Oldbury

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

Across the West Midlands, many transport offices sit at sites such as the Black Country manufacturing belt and the M5 northern corridor. We search for planners and managers who already know that market.

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

Transport demand across the West Midlands follows automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres.

How it works

Brief, search, shortlist

The search

Planners and managers who are looking and those who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.

The shortlist

A short list with notes on each candidate's fleet, systems and results.

Interviews

We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.

Your brief

The brief that works

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

Planners who leave early often cite the hours, on-call demands or an office that never plans ahead. We raise all three first.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The number and type of vehicles planned
  • 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
