Permanent driver recruitment for Neath employers who want drivers that stay: matched on route, shift pattern and vehicle as well as licence.
Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.
Driving employers across Wales include steel and heavy manufacturing logistics, food and drink distribution, port operators and regional 3PLs. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.
Retention is where permanent driver recruitment pays for itself. A driver who leaves after three months means another search, another induction and another gap on the rota.
Across Wales, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the South Wales M4 distribution belt, the ABP ports and the Deeside Industrial Park.
Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.
Indicative permanent salaries in Neath run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Basic rate is only part of the offer. Drivers compare shift premiums, overtime rates, guaranteed hours and the age of the fleet. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
For Neath operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.
A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.
