The traffic office talent that keeps Ruislip vehicles legal, loaded and on time.
We look for planners who have planned your kind of work: trunking, multi-drop, pallet networks or dedicated contracts.
Transport employers across London & the South East include last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs. Each plans a different kind of work, so we recruit to the network rather than the title.
Taking on a new contract? We can recruit the planners and the transport manager together so the traffic office is ready on day one.
The strongest transport candidates across London & the South East are usually already planning for operators at sites such as Park Royal, the Thames Gateway, London Gateway and the distribution parks ringing the M25.
Planning, scheduling, compliance and fleet roles.
We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
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 Ruislip run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Our benchmarks use current offers for comparable fleets rather than old salary surveys. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.
We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
A permanent planner learns your customers, your drivers and your routes. That knowledge makes every week's plan better.
Strong planners value good systems, a manager who backs their decisions and customers who plan ahead.
