Transport Planning Recruitment in West Bromwich

Hiring a transport manager in West Bromwich? We check the Transport Manager CPC first, then the experience behind it.

West Midlands

Hiring transport people for good in West Bromwich

A permanent transport hire should make the operation cheaper to run and easier to keep compliant.

Transport employers across the West Midlands include automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres. Each plans a different kind of work, so we recruit to the network rather than the title.

Taking on a new contract? We can recruit the planners and the transport manager together so the traffic office is ready on day one.

Operators at sites such as the Golden Triangle parks at Hams Hall and Birch Coppice, the i54 and the M6/M42 distribution belt compete for the same experienced planners, which is why pay moves quickly.

How it works

Brief, search, shortlist

Qualification check

For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.

Screening

Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.

Settling in

We check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.

Your brief

The brief that works

An operator with a standard licence needs a transport manager. Continuity in that role keeps compliance steady.

A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the planning day as it really runs, not its quietest shift.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The number and type of vehicles planned
  • Hours, nights and on-call expectations
  • The measures that matter: cost per drop, utilisation and on-time delivery
  • Salary, bonus and on-call pay
