Transport Planning Recruitment in Penarth

We recruit the people who plan the routes, run the traffic office and keep Penarth and Wales fleets compliant.

Wales

A transport recruitment desk for Penarth

Strong planners are rarely out of work, so the search reaches people who are not looking.

Fleets across Wales depend on the M4 and A55 North Wales Expressway, Cardiff Airport and the ports at Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Holyhead. Planners who know those links plan tighter days.

Taking on a new contract? We can recruit the planners and the transport manager together so the traffic office is ready on day one.

Planners working at sites such as the South Wales M4 distribution belt, the ABP ports and the Deeside Industrial Park rarely need to apply for jobs. We approach them directly.

Roles on our desk

Pay that lands

We benchmark salary, on-call pay and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.

A shortlist you can use

We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

A permanent planner learns your customers, your drivers and your routes. That knowledge makes every week's plan better.

Notice periods for transport managers can be long, so we plan the handover from the first call.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The network: trunking, multi-drop, pallet or dedicated
  • The routing and scheduling systems in use
  • The measures that matter: cost per drop, utilisation and on-time delivery
  • Salary, bonus and on-call pay
