Permanent transport planners, schedulers and CPC-qualified transport managers for operators in Smethwick.
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.
Taking on a new contract? We can recruit the planners and the transport manager together so the traffic office is ready on day one.
Across the West Midlands, planners and transport managers are hired by automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators.
Transport roles for trunking, multi-drop, pallet network and dedicated operations.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
A short list of people who fit the fleet, with notes on systems, network and results.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Smethwick run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Candidates weigh the whole package: salary, hours, on-call, holiday and the culture of the traffic office. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.
Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.

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.
