Scheduler

About this role

As a Scheduler, your role is to support the planning, scheduling, and deployment of our Asbestos field-based operations. You will follow the appropriate processes to ensure that field-based surveyors have booked as many work orders as is practical – both in respect of compliance with client / contract response times and quality (sufficient time is allowed for works order completion).

Our field-based operatives work nationwide and for a variety of clients. This includes both directly employed operatives and subcontracted associates. Schedulers within the Asbestos Scheduling team will book as many appointments as is possible to support the delivery of efficient asbestos surveying and analysis.

Role Responsibilities

You will be responsible for implementing the Asbestos scheduling processes to effectively deploy field-base operations in the most efficient way. You will ensure we book sufficient appointments on a contract-by-contract basis to fulfil the requirements and drive our operational and commercial performance.

Working flexibly within the team, you will deploy resources, as well as handling inbound and outbound telephony demand and accurately data importing client information.

You will work collaboratively with the Scheduling Team Leader, Contract Coordinators, other Schedulers, Field-based Operatives and Operations Leaders to build rapport and trust.

In addition, you will be required to manage tenant enquiries in a friendly and helpful manner. Confidence with telephony and operating works management systems is vital.

Your responsibilities will include :

• Scheduling planned appointments for Asbestos field-based operatives, using your understanding of multiple works management systems.
• Uploading projects to our online booking platform.
• Retrieving booked appointments from our online booking platform and entering onto our operating platform.
• Mail merge letters for tenants.
• Recording points of contact onto our operating platform.
• Handling and resolving telephone and email inquiries from tenants.
• Making proactive outbound telephone calls and positively influencing tenants to arrange appointments.
• Sharing ideas and insights to continually improve the scheduling function, including increasing the number of appointments made, appointments kept, and properties accessed.

Specific team targets will include :

Role requirements / experience

There are no mandatory qualifications required for this role. It is more important to assess relevant competencies and personality attributes. This role may suit experience in a deployment and scheduling role (not sector / market specific). The role will suit outgoing and friendly individuals that are able to communicate and build rapport.
