We recruit the people who plan the routes, run the traffic office and keep Neath and Wales fleets compliant.
A good traffic office is invisible: vehicles leave on time, drivers stay legal and customers get what they were promised.
Neath sits in Wales, where the M4 corridor, the ABP ports and a strong manufacturing base anchor the logistics labour market. We recruit the transport office people who keep that freight moving.
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 South Wales M4 distribution belt, the ABP ports and the Deeside Industrial Park.
From night planners to heads of transport.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.
We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Indicative permanent salaries in Neath 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.
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.
An empty planning desk costs more than the advert: overtime, missed slots and avoidable empty miles.
Notice periods for transport managers can be long, so we plan the handover from the first call.
