The role
We're looking for a Scheduler to join our Networks Operational Delivery team and play a key role in ensuring our operational workforce is deployed efficiently and effectively. Working as part of a wider scheduling team, you'll optimise work plans, maximise resource utilisation, and help deliver an excellent service to our customers. This is an exciting opportunity to make a real impact by supporting the successful delivery of work programmes across the network.
Some of your main accountabilities will include;
- Scheduling work to ensure that priorities are dealt with, and work is delivered to meet programme and customer requirements.
- Ensuring that all periods of annual leave and training are programmed in advance to help identify any areas where we are under resourced.
- Supporting the operational delivery teams by collating and processing all required paperwork and submitting to various parties once full validation checks have been undertaken.
- Assisting with internal and external customer enquiries via email and on the telephone.
- Attending daily meetings to feedback progress and improvement opportunities, raising concerns and seeking validation for any queries.
Due to the nature of business operations, you will be required to respond to emergency events including severe weather as and when required, supporting team members in their ability to respond as is appropriate for their role.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
