We are growing and with our ambitious plans we are currently looking for the very best talent to join us. We need people who can think differently about how to solve problems. Therefore, we are recruiting a Project Administrator to join our Surveying Services team.

About This Role

The ultimate purpose of the role is to support the planning, scheduling, and deployment of our field-based operations.

Following the appropriate processes, you will ensure that field-base operatives have booked as many work orders as is practical – both in respect of compliance (client/contract response times being met) and quality (sufficient time is allowed for works order completion). Field-based operatives work nationwide and for a variety of clients and include directly employed operatives and subcontracted associates.

As a Planning Administrator within the Surveying Scheduling team, you will maximise appointment bookings to support the delivery of gas and electrical audits, energy performance assessment, stock condition surveys, fire risk assessments and other field-based activities as required.

Role Responsibilities

You will be accountable for implementing the relevant surveying services scheduling processes in order to effectively deploy field-based operations in the most efficient way. You will be required to ensure we book sufficient appointments on a contract-by-contract basis to fulfil the contract requirements and thus drive our operational and commercial performance.

You will achieve this by working flexibly within the team, deploying resources, as well as handling inbound and outbound telephony demands. Working collaboratively with the Planning & Scheduling Manager – Surveying Services, Planning Coordinators, other schedulers, field-base operatives and Operations leaders (leaders within Pennington Choices) building rapport and trust.

In addition, you will manage tenant enquiries in a friendly and helpful manner, so having confidence with telephony and operating works management systems is essential.

Responsibilities Include

• Scheduling planned appointments for field-based operatives– being conversant utilising multiple works management systems
• Uploading projects to our on-line booking platform
• Retrieving booked appointments from our online booking platform and entering onto our operating platform
• Mail Merge letters for tenants
• Bulk text messaging
• Recording points of contact onto our operating platform(s)
• Handling and resolving telephone and email enquiries from tenants
• Proactive outbound telephone calls - persuading and influencing tenants to arrange appointments
• Sharing ideas and insight to continually improve the scheduling function including increasing appointments made, appointments kept, and properties accessed
  
  

Specific Team Targets Will Include

• Tangible productivity improvement – ensuring surveyors are fully booked each day
• Percentage of work orders fulfilled (in terms of appointments made, access and completion)
  
  

Role Requirements, Skills And/or Experience

There are no mandatory qualifications required for this role. What matters is having the relevant competencies and personality attributes. This role will suit you if you have experience in deployment or scheduling (any sector). You are outgoing, friendly, and able to build rapport, with strengths in:

• Setting priorities – You focus on what matters and remove roadblocks.
• Technical skills – You deliver work to a high standard.
• Time management – You use your time well and get things done.
• Approachability – You are easy to talk to and a good listener.
• Patience – You take time to understand people and processes.
• Customer focus – You build trust and put customers first.
• Resilience – You stay motivated and don’t give up easily.
• Communication – You share the right information at the right time.
• Composure – You stay calm under pressure and handle challenges well.
