Permanent transport planners, schedulers and CPC-qualified transport managers for operators in Seaham.
Transport planning is judged on cost per drop, vehicle utilisation and on-time delivery. We recruit people who move those numbers.
Transport vacancies across the North East come from automotive and chemicals supply chains, port and bulk logistics, retail distribution and regional 3PLs. Each needs people who can plan for cost and compliance at once.
Night planning, early starts and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
With the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport running through the region, transport planners across the North East often plan national as well as local work.
Permanent transport roles matched to fleet size, network and systems.
We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Seaham 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.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
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.
Interim cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when the office needs someone to own the plan.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the planning day as it really runs, not its quietest shift.
