Permanent transport planners, schedulers and CPC-qualified transport managers for operators in Thame.
We look for planners who have planned your kind of work: trunking, multi-drop, pallet networks or dedicated contracts.
Transport vacancies across the South East come from Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers. Each needs people who can plan for cost and compliance at once.
We ask candidates which routing software they use, how many vehicles they plan and what they have done about empty miles.
With the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover running through the region, transport planners across the South East often plan national as well as local work.
The people who plan the work and the people who keep it legal.
We benchmark salary, on-call pay and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.
A short list of people who fit the fleet, with notes on systems, network and results.

Our benchmarks use current offers for comparable fleets rather than old salary surveys. 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.
Good planners become transport managers. Hiring well now builds the succession plan.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the planning day as it really runs, not its quietest shift.
