From night planners to network managers, we find permanent transport office people for Penrith operations.
Strong planners are rarely out of work, so the search reaches people who are not looking.
Across Cumbria, many transport offices sit at sites such as the Barrow-in-Furness shipyard and marine supply estates. We search for planners and managers who already know that market.
A transport offer competes with every haulier and 3PL within reach. We help set salary, on-call pay and bonus so it lands first time.
Transport demand across Cumbria follows chilled food distribution, defence and marine manufacturing, energy supply chains and Anglo-Scottish trunking operators.
From night planners to heads of transport.
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.
We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.
Indicative permanent salaries in Penrith run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Candidates weigh the whole package: salary, hours, on-call, holiday and the culture of the traffic office. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Planners and managers who are looking and those who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
We check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.
For Penrith operators with a growing fleet, the right permanent planner can pay for the role in miles saved.
We ask candidates why they left their last traffic office. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
