Scheduling Planning & Optimisation Coordinator £26956.80 to £26956.80 per year Remote | DD Products & Services Posted 1 day ago | Ref: DDENG259

Love solving complex operational puzzles and making things work smarter?

We’re looking for a Scheduling Planning & Optimisation Coordinator to join our Field Service Operations team in Stirling.

This isn’t a traditional manual scheduling role. You’ll work with system-led scheduling and operational data to help us make the best use of our field engineering capacity across Reactive, Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) and Install work. You’ll validate scheduling recommendations, tackle exceptions, identify capacity pressures and help continuously improve the rules and data behind increasingly automated scheduling.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll play a key role in keeping our operation moving by:

  • Monitoring system-assisted schedules and making sure bookings reflect priorities, skills, territories, availability and capacity.
  • Solving failed allocations and capacity constraints, applying controlled overrides where appropriate.
  • Looking ahead at demand and engineer capacity to spot potential problems early.
  • Protecting PPM planning windows and helping manage compliance requirements.
  • Using operational data to identify workload imbalances and opportunities to reduce unnecessary rescheduling and manual intervention.
  • Helping improve our scheduling rules, data and optimisation logic over time.

What we offer

  • Discretionary company performance-related bonus
  • Comprehensive discount portal — gym memberships, shopping savings, days out
  • SmartPay loan scheme (interest-free)
  • Cycle2Work scheme
  • Enhanced holiday entitlement — 33 days including bank holidays
  • An additional day off for your birthday
  • Option to purchase extra annual leave
  • Company pension scheme
  • Dental plan
  • Company sick pay, life assurance, enhanced maternity/paternity
  • Eye test vouchers
  • Mental health support services & virtual GP access
  • Free on-site parking

What we’re looking for

You’ll be someone who enjoys planning, problem-solving and working with data. You’ll need experience within scheduling, workforce planning, resource planning or field-service operations, along with confidence making decisions where priorities, geography, skills and availability all need to be balanced.

Experience with D365 Field Service/Schedule Assistant would be useful, but it isn’t essential — this can be trained. Experience with PPM or compliance planning would also be an advantage.

If you’re analytical, organised and enjoy turning operational complexity into a plan that works, we’d love to hear from you.
