Transport Planning Recruitment in Wellingborough

From night planners to network managers, we find permanent transport office people for Wellingborough operations.

East Midlands

Planners and schedulers in Wellingborough

We look for planners who have planned your kind of work: trunking, multi-drop, pallet networks or dedicated contracts.

Transport employers across the East Midlands include national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations. 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.

Planners working at sites such as the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall rarely need to apply for jobs. We approach them directly.

We ask candidates why they left their last traffic office. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The number and type of vehicles planned
  • Whether the role is the nominated transport manager
  • Salary, bonus and on-call pay
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
