Permanent transport planners, schedulers and CPC-qualified transport managers for operators in Cardiff.
A permanent transport hire should make the operation cheaper to run and easier to keep compliant.
Cardiff is Wales' capital and largest logistics market, served by the M4 corridor and the ABP ports at Cardiff and Newport. We recruit the transport office people who keep that freight moving.
When the Cardiff market is thin for transport talent, we look further along the commute and give you an honest view of the likely shortlist.
Planners working at sites such as the Cardiff and Newport ABP ports, Cardiff Bay and the M4 corridor parks rarely need to apply for jobs. We approach them directly.
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.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Cardiff run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Our benchmarks use current offers for comparable fleets rather than old salary surveys. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
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.
Interim cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when the office needs someone to own the plan.
Notice periods for transport managers can be long, so we plan the handover from the first call.
