West Midlands

Tipton transport planning recruitment

Every transport candidate we put forward has been checked on qualifications, systems and the fleets they have run.

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.

We ask candidates which routing software they use, how many vehicles they plan and what they have done about empty miles.

Transport office roles across the West Midlands are spread across operators at sites such as the Golden Triangle parks at Hams Hall and Birch Coppice, the i54 and the M6/M42 distribution belt.
