Permanent transport planning and management recruitment across Wales.
Strong planners are rarely out of work, so the search reaches people who are not looking.
Across Wales, many transport offices sit at sites such as the Bridgend and Llanelli manufacturing estates. We search for planners and managers who already know that market.
Night planning, early starts and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
With the M4 and A55 North Wales Expressway, Cardiff Airport and the ports at Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Holyhead running through the region, transport planners across Wales often plan national as well as local work.
From night planners to heads of transport.
We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
We benchmark salary, on-call pay and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
For a new contract we can recruit the planners and the manager together, timed to the start date.
Indicative permanent salaries in Swansea 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.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.
We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.
A permanent planner learns your customers, your drivers and your routes. That knowledge makes every week's plan better.
We ask candidates why they left their last traffic office. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
A strong transport brief covers:
Loading live roles…
On GOV.UK's list, a transport manager makes sure drivers have a valid licence, vehicles are taxed, insured, properly maintained and have a valid MOT, vehicles are loaded safely and not overloaded, drivers do not speed or break the drivers' hours rules and the operator does not break safety rules.
We confirm qualifications such as the Transport Manager CPC, check right to work and ask about the fleets, networks and systems they have run.
Yes. Tell us the hours and the network so we approach planners who want night work and have done it before.
Yes. We compare salary, bonus and on-call pay with current offers for similar fleets across the region.
Good systems, sensible hours, a manager who trusts the plan and pay in line with the market.
