Planning and Scheduling Assistant

As the Planning and Scheduling Assistant you will support the Area Operational Teams in within-year planning processes, scheduling and delivery of routine and non-routine work activities on Compressor Station, Pipelines and AGI assets within a geographic zone on the Gas Transmission Network.

It's important you ensure compliance with operations work planning and delivery processes including the co-ordination of area and zone within year planning meetings. You will co-ordinate and input data used to allocate and optimise resources (direct and indirect) for effective delivery of the area and zone work plans.

You will use work scheduling tools and liaise with GT operational teams to ensure an effective match between planned workload and resources is achieved whilst providing necessary support to review key performance indicators to drive efficiency in how we work.

You will work within a collaborative and supportive team to contribute towards the overall performance of your area, ensuring individual and team targets are achieved.

To be successful in this role you will have strong IT and communication skills in addition to being organised and thorough with a keen willingness to learn.

We are proud of our role at the heart of Britain's energy system. Our skilled colleagues bring gas to around 23m homes and over 200,000 businesses, including heavy industries and power stations that keep the lights on, all whilst enabling the transition of our network to hydrogen.

We are a flexible working organisation. At National Gas, we are committed to building a workforce that represents the communities we serve. We celebrate the different experiences our colleagues bring to our organisation, and strongly encourage applicants of all backgrounds to apply.

Studies suggest that women tend to apply only if they meet 100% of the criteria. If you resonate with our mission and meet a good portion of our requirements, we encourage you to apply.

The closing date is 26th May, although in some cases I'll close the ad early.

Some of the planning related systems we use are currently being replaced as we implement Maximo so now is a good time to join us and learn how everything works as extensive training will be given on our new systems and processes.

This role provides an exciting opportunity to work within a team delivering the nation's energy needs as we work towards Net Zero.

At National Gas, we really take the time to understand what you want to achieve out of your role and career, that's why we encourage people to speak about their personalised development plan early on. This might be developing in your existing role, you might even have your sights set on a higher level position, whatever it is we will give you the support and tools needed to succeed.
