Hiring a transport manager in Ebbw Vale? We check the Transport Manager CPC first, then the experience behind it.
A good traffic office is invisible: vehicles leave on time, drivers stay legal and customers get what they were promised.
Transport employers across Wales include manufacturing and automotive supply chains, port logistics, retail DCs and national 3PLs. Each plans a different kind of work, so we recruit to the network rather than the title.
Trunking networks, multi-drop rounds and dedicated contracts need different planners. We recruit each one differently.
The strongest transport candidates across Wales are usually already planning for operators at sites such as the M4 and A55 corridors, the South Wales ports and the North Wales manufacturing parks.
Transport roles for trunking, multi-drop, pallet network and dedicated operations.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
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 Ebbw Vale run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Salary is only part of the offer. Candidates compare on-call pay, bonus, hybrid working and the size of the fleet they will run. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.
