Hiring a transport manager in Redditch? We check the Transport Manager CPC first, then the experience behind it.
A permanent transport hire should make the operation cheaper to run and easier to keep compliant.
From national 3PLs to automotive supply chains, employers around Redditch compete for experienced permanent talent in the country's busiest distribution region. We recruit the transport office people who keep that freight moving.
We ask candidates which routing software they use, how many vehicles they plan and what they have done about empty miles.
Operators at sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54 compete for the same experienced planners, which is why pay moves quickly.
Permanent transport roles matched to fleet size, network and systems.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.
A short list of people who fit the fleet, with notes on systems, network and results.
Indicative permanent salaries in Redditch run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
