Transport planning recruitment for Whitstable operators who need a traffic office that plans ahead rather than firefights.
A permanent transport hire should make the operation cheaper to run and easier to keep compliant.
Across the South East, many transport offices sit at sites such as the Dartford and Thames-side parks and the M20 route to the Channel. 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 grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs.
Permanent transport roles matched to fleet size, network and systems.
We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.
For a new contract we can recruit the planners and the manager together, timed to the start date.
Indicative permanent salaries in Whitstable run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
A clear offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before it goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
A short list with notes on each candidate's fleet, systems and results.
We check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.
A permanent planner learns your customers, your drivers and your routes. That knowledge makes every week's plan better.
When a transport role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the hours, the pay or the systems are the obstacle. Then we tell you.
