The Vacancy
Here at Wates, we have an opportunity for a Scheduler to join our scheduling team in the Skelmersdale area. You will be part of the Wates Living Space Responsive team allocating works to several operatives daily, ensuring productivity and providing good customer service to our client and residents. This is an office-based role, so ideally, you will be commutable to Skelmersdale.
Key Accountabilities will include:
1. Schedule works into diaries for up to 20 operatives daily ensuring diaries are full and immediate attention is given to allocate work to operatives when they become free.
2. Check the system for emergencies and manage within a timely manner to ensure targets are met.
3. Respond to telephone variations by seeking approval from the duty surveyor so operatives may continue the site through to completion.
4. Arrange inspections for supervisors.
5. Provide a high-quality service to our client on a face-to-face basis.
6. Work within a team to achieve goals and targets, achieving daily targets of a minimum of 60 allocations each day of new orders.
We are looking for you to have relevant experience gained from working in a similar industry and environment, i.e., planning, scheduling, logistics. Construction/property services would be ideal but not a must.
To be successful in the role, you must be an excellent communicator with the ability to problem-solve, multitask, and work to tight deadlines.
