The traffic office talent that keeps Newtown vehicles legal, loaded and on time.
Strong planners are rarely out of work, so the search reaches people who are not looking.
Transport employers across West Wales include port and terminal operators, food and drink manufacturers, agricultural supply chains and rural distribution. Each plans a different kind of work, so we recruit to the network rather than the title.
When the Newtown market is thin for transport talent, we look further along the commute and give you an honest view of the likely shortlist.
With the A40, the A487, the A48 and the ports at Milford Haven, Pembroke Dock and Fishguard running through the region, transport planners across West Wales often plan national as well as local work.
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.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Newtown run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Transport office pay in Wales moves with the size of the fleet, the network and the hours: night planning and on-call usually pay more. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.
Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.
Interim cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when the office needs someone to own the plan.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the planning day as it really runs, not its quietest shift.
