Transport planning recruitment for Torpoint operators who need a traffic office that plans ahead rather than firefights.
Strong planners are rarely out of work, so the search reaches people who are not looking.
Transport employers across Devon & Cornwall include food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers. Each plans a different kind of work, so we recruit to the network rather than the title.
Night planning, early starts and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
The strongest transport candidates across Devon & Cornwall are usually already planning for operators at sites such as the Cornwall A30 corridor and the Pool, Redruth and St Austell estates.
Transport roles for trunking, multi-drop, pallet network and dedicated operations.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.
We benchmark salary, on-call pay and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Torpoint 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.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
Good planners become transport managers. Hiring well now builds the succession plan.
Strong planners value good systems, a manager who backs their decisions and customers who plan ahead.
A strong transport brief covers:

Yes. We compare salary, bonus and on-call pay with current offers for similar fleets across the region.
Yes. We recruit fleet managers and maintenance controllers who look after vehicle compliance and cost.
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.
