Wessex Water

Are you enthusiastic and motivated with the ability to multitask and solve problems? If so, we have a great opportunity for you as a Divisional Scheduler.

This is a fixed-term, maternity cover role within our southern Scheduling team based out of our Corfe Mullen offices.

What you'll do

You will be responsible for scheduling operational teams across multiple workstreams. Key responsibilities will include maximising the efficient use of operational staff's time by creating schedules which will reduce mileage and fuel expenditure.

You will liaise with operational staff across multiple disciplines to help reduce overdue work. You will be required to raise work requests to be carried out and prioritised, as well as scheduling planned maintenance.

In addition, you may also be required to provide regular updates to our customers ensuring our performance commitments are met.

The role will require the candidate to use multiple IT systems, including Microsoft applications (Outlook, Excel, Dynamics 365 and Teams) and internal software.

This role will see you work 40 hours per week, but due to the reactive nature of the work, some flexibility with working hours may be required.

Our Scheduling team's core hours are between 7am and 5pm; however, we also provide out-of-hours cover so overtime opportunities may be available.

What you'll need

We are looking for a team player with multitasking skills and the ability to effectively resolve issues.

We pride ourselves on our customer service, so excellent communication skills are vital, along with a passion for delivering outstanding customer service.

We operate within strict Service Level Agreements so the ability to follow procedures and attention to detail underpins everything we do.

An understanding of our operational business would be an advantage but if you can effectively solve problems under pressure, we will ensure you have all the training you need to adapt your skills to the role.

What you'll receive

• Career progression and professional development opportunities.
• A healthcare package that allows you to claim back healthcare costs.
• A new electric car in exchange for part of your gross salary.
• Cashback and discounts from more than 3,000 retailers.
• One paid volunteering day each year.
• Enhanced family leave and pay arrangements.
• An interactive health and wellbeing platform.
• Support from mental health first aiders.
• A £1,000 referral fee if you recommend someone to work for us.
