Planners who cut empty miles and managers who keep the operator's licence safe, recruited for Colwyn Bay fleets.
A good traffic office is invisible: vehicles leave on time, drivers stay legal and customers get what they were promised.
The market around Colwyn Bay looks east to Deeside and Chester as much as it does south — a distinct labour pool from South Wales. Across North Wales, transport offices at sites such as the Wrexham Industrial Estate and the A483 corridor need planners who know the roads and the customers.
We ask candidates which routing software they use, how many vehicles they plan and what they have done about empty miles.
Across North Wales, planners and transport managers are hired by advanced manufacturing and aerospace, Irish Sea ferry and groupage operators, food processing and regional 3PLs.
The people who plan the work and the people who keep it legal.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
A short list of people who fit the fleet, with notes on systems, network and results.
Indicative permanent salaries in Colwyn Bay 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.
A short list with notes on each candidate's fleet, systems and results.
We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
Interim cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when the office needs someone to own the plan.
Many transport managers started as planners. We recruit for both steps of that career.
