Transport Planning Recruitment in Port Talbot

Permanent transport planning and management recruitment across Wales.

Wales

Port Talbot transport planning recruitment

Every transport candidate we put forward has been checked on qualifications, systems and the fleets they have run.

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.

A planner who leaves after a few months takes the knowledge of your routes and customers with them. Getting the hire right protects both.

Transport office roles across Wales are spread across operators at sites such as the M4 corridor and the ABP ports at Cardiff, Newport and Swansea, plus the Deeside parks in the north.

How it works

Three stages to a hire

Qualification check

For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.

The search

Planners and managers who are looking and those who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.

The offer

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

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

Good planners become transport managers. Hiring well now builds the succession plan.

A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the planning day as it really runs, not its quietest shift.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • Hours, nights and on-call expectations
  • Whether the role is the nominated transport manager
  • The measures that matter: cost per drop, utilisation and on-time delivery
  • Your interview process and any planning exercise
