Transport Planning Recruitment in Flint

Transport planning recruitment for Flint operators who need a traffic office that plans ahead rather than firefights.

North Wales

Transport office talent for Flint

We look for planners who have planned your kind of work: trunking, multi-drop, pallet networks or dedicated contracts.

The market around Flint 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.
