Planners who cut empty miles and managers who keep the operator's licence safe, recruited for Oldham fleets.
The transport manager is responsible for the operator's compliance. That is why we check the qualification before anything else.
Fleets across the North West depend on the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. Planners who know those links plan tighter days.
Night planning, early starts and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
Across the North West, planners and transport managers are hired by retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics.
Permanent transport roles matched to fleet size, network and systems.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
We benchmark salary, on-call pay and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.
Indicative permanent salaries in Oldham 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.
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 help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
An empty planning desk costs more than the advert: overtime, missed slots and avoidable empty miles.
Notice periods for transport managers can be long, so we plan the handover from the first call.
A strong transport brief covers:
