Transport Planning Recruitment in Redhill

Permanent transport planning and management recruitment across the South East.

South East

A transport recruitment desk for Redhill

Transport planning is judged on cost per drop, vehicle utilisation and on-time delivery. We recruit people who move those numbers.

Across the South East, many transport offices sit at sites such as the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick. 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 South East, planners and transport managers are hired by Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.

Roles on our desk

What you can expect

A shortlist you can use

How it works

Our process, step by step

The brief

Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.

The search

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

Settling in

We check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

An operator with a standard licence needs a transport manager. Continuity in that role keeps compliance steady.

When a transport role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the hours, the pay or the systems are the obstacle. Then we tell you.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The network: trunking, multi-drop, pallet or dedicated
  • Whether the role is the nominated transport manager
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
  • Your interview process and any planning exercise
