Permanent transport planning and management recruitment across the South East.
Strong planners are rarely out of work, so the search reaches people who are not looking.
Across the South East, many transport offices sit at sites such as the parks along the M25, M20 and M23 and the Solent ports. We search for planners and managers who already know that market.
We ask candidates which routing software they use, how many vehicles they plan and what they have done about empty miles.
Transport demand across the South East follows Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.
Permanent roles across the traffic office, from planners to transport managers.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.
We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
We benchmark salary, on-call pay and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Tonbridge run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Salary is only part of the offer. Candidates compare on-call pay, bonus, hybrid working and the size of the fleet they will run. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
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.
Interim cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when the office needs someone to own the plan.
Notice periods for transport managers can be long, so we plan the handover from the first call.
A strong transport brief covers:

We confirm qualifications such as the Transport Manager CPC, check right to work and ask about the fleets, networks and systems they have run.
Yes. We recruit fleet managers and maintenance controllers who look after vehicle compliance and cost.
Upload your CV and tell us the fleet size, network and systems you know. We contact you when a permanent role fits.
GOV.UK describes an internal transport manager as employed by a single operator and an external transport manager as a freelance manager working for more than one operator.
Good systems, sensible hours, a manager who trusts the plan and pay in line with the market.
