As a Schedule & Delivery Technician you’ll liaise with external suppliers, field managers, operatives, the local planning authorities, and customers to schedule crucial emergency and planned repair, renewal, and installation works.

You’ll jeopardy manage our workflow, redistributing work in a day as priorities and service levels change to meet customer and business need.

You’ll join a caring culture that collaborates to achieve, grow, and develop. Our employee engagement scores are among the highest globally in energy and utilities. That’s why, we value in‑person moments to keep our culture alive and why for this role you’ll usually find us in the office during our working hours.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• Proactivity and Organisation: Essential for achieving customer and company outcomes efficiently and accurately.
• Continuous Improvement: Using problem‑solving techniques to identify and implement best practices.
• Strong Administration Skills: Necessary for using planning tools like Click to prioritize and schedule work.
• Communication Skills: Crucial for liaising with stakeholders and managing customer expectations.
• Ability to Work Under Pressure: Flexibility to switch between high‑priority tasks and support the team.

Skills and experience are important, but character, positivity, and a caring attitude matter too. We welcome and celebrate diverse individuals, knowing they help us better serve our communities. We seek people who get involved, want to be part of something bigger, and make a difference because they care.
