Permanent transport planning and management recruitment across the West Midlands.
Strong planners are rarely out of work, so the search reaches people who are not looking.
Transport employers across the West Midlands include automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators. Each plans a different kind of work, so we recruit to the network rather than the title.
When the Telford market is thin for transport talent, we look further along the commute and give you an honest view of the likely shortlist.
Operators at sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, the i54 and the rail-freight terminals around Birmingham compete for the same experienced planners, which is why pay moves quickly.
From night planners to heads of transport.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
A short list of people who fit the fleet, with notes on systems, network and results.
Indicative permanent salaries in Telford run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
A clear offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before it goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.
A short list with notes on each candidate's fleet, systems and results.
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.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the planning day as it really runs, not its quietest shift.
