Regional Scheduler

At Severn Trent, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re in the top 5% of utility companies worldwide for employee engagement, and we’re equally proud of our strong Glassdoor score — reflecting how much our people love working here.

Join us to make a positive impact on the environment and our communities, while being valued and supported in a truly inclusive workplace.

If you want to do more, because you care, we want you on our team.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

We're looking for a proactive, organised, and customer-focused Scheduler to join our team at Pride Park. This is a fast-paced and rewarding role where you'll play a vital part in helping our operational teams deliver excellent service to customers across your region.

As a Scheduler, you'll be responsible for managing day-to-day operational work, ensuring jobs are prioritised correctly, resources are used effectively, and urgent issues are responded to quickly. Working closely with operational teams, planners, catchment leads, contractors, and other stakeholders, you'll help ensure the right work is completed at the right time while maintaining high levels of customer service.

No two days are the same, making this an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys problem-solving, making decisions, and thriving in a dynamic environment.

What you’ll be doing

Real-Time Scheduling & Delivery

Manage and coordinate operational work across your allocated county or region.
Schedule and dispatch urgent and reactive work, ensuring priority jobs are delivered efficiently and within service level agreements (SLAs).
Monitor in-day performance and make real-time adjustments to schedules as circumstances change.
Ensure any work that cannot be completed is identified, prioritised, and rescheduled appropriately.

Managing Operational Performance

Proactively manage risks to delivery, responding quickly to incidents, operational events, and changing priorities.
Support the effective delivery of both planned and reactive work, ensuring resources are utilised efficiently.
Manage the impact of unplanned absences and rota changes, adjusting schedules to minimise disruption.
Work closely with planners and operational teams to ensure long-term solutions remain on track.

Collaboration & Communication

Build strong relationships with colleagues and stakeholders across the business.
Liaise with internal teams, contractors, and external organisations, including Highway Authorities, to support effective delivery.
Keep internal and external customers informed of progress, updates, and any changes to scheduled work.
Clearly communicate priorities and scheduling decisions to support a coordinated approach across the region.

Continuous Improvement

Use operational data and performance information to support effective decision-making.
Identify opportunities to improve scheduling efficiency and customer outcomes.
Contribute ideas and solutions that help enhance service delivery and operational performance.

HOW WE WORK

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 but also understand the flexibility working from home can bring. So, you'll usually find us in the office, but working from home is supported, when you need it.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We're looking for someone who can stay calm under pressure, think on their feet, and confidently manage competing priorities while maintaining a focus on excellent customer service.

You'll ideally bring:

Strong organisational and prioritisation skills.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities.
A proactive and customer-focused approach.
Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills.
The ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances.
