Permanent transport planning and management recruitment across Devon & Cornwall.
Strong planners are rarely out of work, so the search reaches people who are not looking.
Transport vacancies across Devon & Cornwall come from chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers. Each needs people who can plan for cost and compliance at once.
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.
Transport office roles across Devon & Cornwall are spread across operators at sites such as Plymouth's port and the Devonport and Langage industrial estates.
From night planners to heads of transport.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Tavistock 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.
Planners and managers who are looking and those who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
We check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.
An empty planning desk costs more than the advert: overtime, missed slots and avoidable empty miles.
Planners who leave early often cite the hours, on-call demands or an office that never plans ahead. We raise all three first.
A strong transport brief covers:
