• Reviewing and improving scheduling processes to boost productivity and service levels
• Encouraging a positive team culture and high‑performance mindset

Who we’re looking for

• A confident team leader or manager with a strong operational or scheduling background
• Experience working in a fast‑paced engineering, service or field‑based planning environment
• Comfortable with performance management and coaching team members
• A solid understanding of workforce planning and service delivery
