Regional Scheduling Team Leader Location: Ross on Wye Working closely with the Scheduling Supervisor, the Regional Lead Scheduler will deliver high-quality coordination, resource planning, and administration to support effective regional contract delivery and continuous improvement. You’ll take ownership of scheduling across your region, ensuring the right people are in the right place at the right time. You’ll be the central link between field technicians, regional operations, management, and clients, balancing planned maintenance with fast-moving reactive demands. This is a high-visibility role where your decisions directly affect service delivery, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. You will support the maintenance of our planning systems, ensuring resource accuracy, data integrity, and safety compliance. This will include creating optimised routes, managing regional coverage gaps, resolving scheduling conflicts, and collaborating with your peers to ensure monthly operational targets are consistently achieved or exceeded. What You’ll Be Doing Create and manage regional schedules using in-house planning software, optimising engineer routes to reduce mileage and maximize productive time on site.

Dynamically adjust operational schedules in real time to seamlessly accommodate emergency reactive and compliance works when required. Raise, log, and prioritise incoming work requests, schedule planned preventative maintenance, and track necessary follow-up actions. Proactively resolve logistical issues, address deployment conflicts, and deliver rapid, sustainable solutions to complex scheduling challenges. Collaborate closely with other Regional Lead Schedulers and support the wider central scheduling team to ensure monthly regional targets are met. Work closely with Regional Supervisors and Account Managers to ensure data consistency, alignment across contracts, and compliance with strict client SLAs. Maintain high levels of data accuracy and integrity within the scheduling system, ensuring all data entry complies with company standards.
