Job description

That’s why we need people like you. People who appreciate their role in helping others to be successful.

Work orders don’t plan themselves — and that’s where you come in.

As a Planner, you’ll be right at the start of the process, turning work requests into clear, achievable plans that set our operational teams up for success. You’ll be a key link between customers, operational colleagues and systems, making sure everyone knows what needs to happen, when, and how.

This is a fast-paced role, ideal for someone who enjoys organisation, problem-solving and being the go-to person when things need sorting.

Here are some of the activities you will be involved in…

• Planning and scheduling work for operational teams using a range of systems
• Translating requirements into clear, accurate work instructions
• Monitoring jobs from start to finish, tracking progress and updating systems
• Acting as a first point of contact for operational teams, helping to resolve issues quickly
• Liaising with colleagues and customers to manage expectations and priorities
• Raising, processing and closing traffic management, footway and road closure notices and permits
• Making sure all planning and permit activity is completed accurately and on time

We’d love to hear from you if…

You have experience working in a busy, fast-moving environment where priorities change and decisions need to be made quickly.

You’ll be highly organised, confident communicating with a wide range of people and comfortable using IT systems to manage work and data. A customer-focused mindset is essential, along with the ability to stay calm, focused and proactive when juggling multiple tasks.

If you like structure, problem-solving and being at the centre of operations, this is a great opportunity to build a career within utilities.
