Transport planning recruitment for Rugby operators who need a traffic office that plans ahead rather than firefights.
Every transport candidate we put forward has been checked on qualifications, systems and the fleets they have run.
Fleets across the West Midlands depend on the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections. Planners who know those links plan tighter days.
A planner who leaves after a few months takes the knowledge of your routes and customers with them. Getting the hire right protects both.
Transport demand across the West Midlands follows automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres.
Permanent transport roles matched to fleet size, network and systems.
A short list of people who fit the fleet, with notes on systems, network and results.
For a new contract we can recruit the planners and the manager together, timed to the start date.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Rugby run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
A clear offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before it goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.
A short list with notes on each candidate's fleet, systems and results.
We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.
A permanent planner learns your customers, your drivers and your routes. That knowledge makes every week's plan better.
Planners who leave early often cite the hours, on-call demands or an office that never plans ahead. We raise all three first.
A strong transport brief covers:
