From analysts to heads of supply chain, we find permanent people in Port Talbot who can model the numbers and change the operation.
The best planners are rarely on job boards. They are busy running an S&OP cycle somewhere else.
Supply chain employers across Wales include port and steel logistics, automotive and manufacturing supply chains, retail distribution and regional 3PLs. Each plans differently, so we recruit to the planning cycle rather than the job title.
Demand planning, supply planning, inventory and S&OP need different strengths. We recruit each role differently.
Employers supplied from sites such as the M4 corridor and the ABP ports at Cardiff, Newport and Swansea, plus the Deeside parks in the north compete for the same experienced planners, which pushes salaries up.
From junior analysts to supply chain directors.
We ask candidates what happened to forecast accuracy, stock and service on their watch before we talk about their notice period.
Retail, FMCG, manufacturing and e-commerce plan differently. We match planners to the kind of demand they have handled.
A short list with notes on sector, systems and the results each candidate delivered.
Indicative permanent salaries in Port Talbot run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.
We benchmark against live offers for similar planning roles, not historic salary data. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We approach analysts and planners directly, including the ones who are not looking.
We arrange interviews and any case study, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We stay in touch through the first planning cycles and help resolve anything that comes up.
Planning improves with continuity. Frequent changes in the team show up in stock and service.
Planners who leave early often cite poor data, no influence or a manager who ignores the plan. We raise all three first.
