- Working closely with Project Managers, and Operations Management to understand upcoming requirements and priorities.
- Ensuring appropriate coverage is maintained across the operation, including evenings, nights and weekends where required.
- Overseeing operative availability, annual leave, sickness, overtime and agency requirements from a scheduling perspective.
- Managing and controlling the use of agency labour where internal resources are unavailable.
- Ensuring schedule changes, cancellations and additional requirements are communicated and recorded correctly.
- Supporting the coordination of vehicles and other operational resources where required.
- Ensuring scheduling records and systems remain accurate and fully up to date.

- Working with the wider Operations team to continually improve planning, communication and operational delivery.
