Do you have a passion for helping others? Are you proud of your strong people skills, organisational skills and enjoy solving problems? If so, why not consider joining Rydon as a Scheduler?

This is a varied role where you will organise the diaries of our maintenance engineers to make sure that they attend and complete repairs on behalf of our residents/customers. The role is challenging, fast‑paced and pivotal in ensuring that all maintenance and repair jobs are allocated to the appropriate engineer and allotted the correct amount of time. You will respond to reactive call‑outs or plan preventative maintenance visits, schedule the works to the engineers, ensure relevant access requirements and security are adhered to, and monitor works to ensure they are completed on time so that the engineer can move onto their next job.

You will use our scheduling software to oversee the working days of multiple engineers, moving/reallocating jobs as and when emergencies need to be booked in or when extra time is needed. In addition to managing the time of our directly employed engineers, you will also arrange for sub‑contractors to complete specialist repairs, making sure all jobs are closed out on the system once completed.

You will also liaise closely with our call centre team and residents, agreeing appointment times when scheduling works.
