Hiring a transport manager in Wantage? We check the Transport Manager CPC first, then the experience behind it.
Every transport candidate we put forward has been checked on qualifications, systems and the fleets they have run.
Transport employers across the South East include grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs. Each plans a different kind of work, so we recruit to the network rather than the title.
When the Wantage 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 the Solent ports and the M27 corridor estates compete for the same experienced planners, which is why pay moves quickly.
Transport roles for trunking, multi-drop, pallet network and dedicated operations.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.
For a new contract we can recruit the planners and the manager together, timed to the start date.
Indicative permanent salaries in Wantage 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.
We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.
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.
