Permanent transport planning and management recruitment across the North West.
A good traffic office is invisible: vehicles leave on time, drivers stay legal and customers get what they were promised.
Across the North West, many transport offices sit at sites such as the Trafford Park and Salford estates and the Manchester Ship Canal. 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.
Across the North West, planners and transport managers are hired by port and intermodal operators, chilled and grocery distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and manufacturing logistics.
Permanent roles across the traffic office, from planners to transport managers.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Ormskirk run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Where an offer is likely to fall short of the local market, we say so before interviews are booked. 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 check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.
An empty planning desk costs more than the advert: overtime, missed slots and avoidable empty miles.
We ask candidates why they left their last traffic office. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
