Work orders depend on effective planning — and this is your opportunity to be at the very start of the process, mapping out what needs to be achieved.

• Planning activities for operational teams using various systems

• Acting as the first point of contact for operations colleagues, providing resolutions to issues

You have experience working in a fast-paced environment where you have assessed situations and made quick decisions. You will have strong organisational and communication skills, enjoy working with a variety of people, and be confident using IT systems.

Ideally, you will have experience in a planning or scheduling role within utilities, construction, or a similar sector, along with strong skills in scheduling tools and Gantt management systems. You will remain calm under pressure, adapt plans as circumstances change, and be able to explain complex information clearly to a wide range of stakeholders.
