Job description:
We are a fast-growing electrical and solar PV company delivering high-quality installations across residential, commercial and farm projects. As demand continues to grow, we’re looking for a highly organised, tech-savvy Operations and Scheduling Manager to take ownership of scheduling, job flow, and day-today operational efficiency.
This is a key role at the centre of the business, ensuring our installation teams are in the right place, with the right materials, at the right time.

• Coordinate materials, site access, and time lines to ensure jobs run smoothly
• Track all jobs from booking through to completion using internal systems
• Act as a central point of contact for clients, keeping them informed and confident throughout their project
• Liaise with electricians, installers, and management to resolve issues quickly
• Monitor job progress and proactively address delays or bottlenecks
• Maintain accurate records of schedules, job status, and client communications
• Identify inefficiencies in work-flows and implement improvements
• Support the scaling of operations as the business grows

Requirements
• Experience in construction, electrical, solar, or a similar field environment
• Strong organisational and scheduling skills with attention to detail
• Confident using software systems (or able to learn quickly)
• Ability to manage multiple moving parts without losing oversight
• Proactive problem-solving mindset with a sense of ownership
• Strong communication skills (both with clients and internal teams)

Desirable / Bonus

• Interest in process improvement, automation, or systems design
• Familiarity with solar PV or electrical project work-flows
