Scheduler
The right jobs and people, planned to the hour
Scheduler with eight years planning work, people and resources for a field-services and maintenance company in Manchester. Builds and manages the schedule that keeps engineers, jobs and customers aligned — allocating work efficiently, juggling priorities and emergencies, and keeping everyone informed when plans change. Rebuilt the scheduling process and system, improving job completion rates and reducing wasted travel time. Plans engineer rosters and routes, dispatches and reschedules jobs, manages parts and appointment booking, and is the calm voice coordinating between customers, engineers and managers. Strong on the logistics, the systems and staying composed when the day falls apart. Quick-thinking and unflappable under pressure. Looking for a scheduler, planner or dispatch-coordinator role with a service or field-based operation that lives or dies by its schedule.
