Role Purpose
The Scheduling Specialist provides essential operational and administrative support to the Account Manager / Team Lead. This is an entry-level role in a fast-paced, high-volume environment that requires accuracy, focus, and strong critical thinking skills. While the role includes data entry and repetitive tasks, success depends on the ability to think ahead, spot issues, and make sound decisions — this is not a “check-the-box” or “seat-filling” role.
Key Responsibilities
Scheduling & Administrative Support
- Support the Account Manager with day-to-day administrative and scheduling tasks ranging from basic data entry to more advanced coordination activities
- Accurately enter, update, and maintain job details, schedules, and related information across internal systems
- Ensure all required job information is complete, accurate, and communicated clearly to field technicians
Accuracy, Deadlines & Pace

- Flag recommended SOP updates or clarifications to the Senior Scheduling Specialist or Account Manager

- Follow updated SOPs once implemented and support adoption through consistent application
Critical Thinking & Problem Awareness
- Apply critical thinking to identify missing information, conflicts, or potential issues before they impact delivery
- Ask questions, flag risks, and escalate concerns rather than passing problems downstream
- Balance efficiency with quality, understanding how small errors can create larger operational issues
Technician Coordination & Support

- Support efficient routing and scheduling decisions to help minimize travel time and costs
- Build dependable working relationships with technicians through consistency and reliability
Learning, Development & Continuous Improvement
