Transport planning recruitment for Llanelli operators who need a traffic office that plans ahead rather than firefights.
We look for planners who have planned your kind of work: trunking, multi-drop, pallet networks or dedicated contracts.
Logistics around Llanelli is shaped by the South Wales ports and M4 distribution belt, with Deeside and the A55 serving the north. We recruit the transport office people who keep that freight moving.
Night planning, early starts and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
Planners working at sites such as the M4 and A55 corridors, the South Wales ports and the North Wales manufacturing parks rarely need to apply for jobs. We approach them directly.
Transport roles for trunking, multi-drop, pallet network and dedicated operations.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
For a new contract we can recruit the planners and the manager together, timed to the start date.
Indicative permanent salaries in Llanelli run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Transport managers usually earn more than planners and national networks more than local ones. Local competition can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.
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.
Good planners become transport managers. Hiring well now builds the succession plan.
Many transport managers started as planners. We recruit for both steps of that career.
