Permanent transport planning and management recruitment across the East Midlands.
Strong planners are rarely out of work, so the search reaches people who are not looking.
Transport employers across the East Midlands include big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations. 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.
Operators at sites such as DIRFT, Magna Park and the SEGRO and Prologis parks along the M1 compete for the same experienced planners, which is why pay moves quickly.
Planning, scheduling, compliance and fleet roles.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
We benchmark salary, on-call pay and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Spalding 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.
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.
A transport manager who knows the fleet's history spots maintenance and compliance risks earlier.
Strong planners value good systems, a manager who backs their decisions and customers who plan ahead.
