We recruit the people who plan the routes, run the traffic office and keep Rye and the South East fleets compliant.
A good traffic office is invisible: vehicles leave on time, drivers stay legal and customers get what they were promised.
Rye sits in the South East's busy distribution belt, where the M25 corridor and the south-coast ports keep demand for logistics talent high. Across the South East, transport offices at sites such as the Dartford and Thames-side parks and the M20 route to the Channel need planners who know the roads and the customers.
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.
With the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover running through the region, transport planners across the South East often plan national as well as local work.
Planning, scheduling, compliance and fleet roles.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
For a new contract we can recruit the planners and the manager together, timed to the start date.
Indicative permanent salaries in Rye run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Transport managers usually earn more than planners and national networks more than local ones. Local competition can move either figure. 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.
Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
We check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.
Interim cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when the office needs someone to own the plan.
We ask candidates why they left their last traffic office. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.

We confirm qualifications such as the Transport Manager CPC, check right to work and ask about the fleets, networks and systems they have run.
Yes. We compare salary, bonus and on-call pay with current offers for similar fleets across the region.
Upload your CV and tell us the fleet size, network and systems you know. We contact you when a permanent role fits.
GOV.UK describes an internal transport manager as employed by a single operator and an external transport manager as a freelance manager working for more than one operator.
Good systems, sensible hours, a manager who trusts the plan and pay in line with the market.
