Transport Planning Recruitment in Holyhead

The traffic office talent that keeps Holyhead vehicles legal, loaded and on time.

North Wales

Planners and schedulers in Holyhead

Transport planning is judged on cost per drop, vehicle utilisation and on-time delivery. We recruit people who move those numbers.

Operations near Holyhead run on the A55 and A483, linking Anglesey and the North Wales coast to Deeside, Wrexham and the North West of England. We recruit the transport office people who keep that freight moving.

We ask candidates which routing software they use, how many vehicles they plan and what they have done about empty miles.

Operators at sites such as the A55 corridor estates at Flint, Mold and Colwyn Bay compete for the same experienced planners, which is why pay moves quickly.

How it works

How we find the planner

The brief

Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.

Screening

Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.

Interviews

We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.

Your brief

Setting up the search

Interim cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when the office needs someone to own the plan.

Strong planners value good systems, a manager who backs their decisions and customers who plan ahead.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The number and type of vehicles planned
  • The network: trunking, multi-drop, pallet or dedicated
  • Hours, nights and on-call expectations
  • Your interview process and any planning exercise
