About The Position

Are you ready to play a pivotal role in preparing the British Army for tomorrow’s challenges? As a Scheduler, you’ll be at the heart of strategic planning, analysing complex requirements and dependencies to craft optimised Force Preparation Schedules (FPS) that directly support Army-wide priorities. This is more than just scheduling — it’s about enabling mission success through precision, foresight, and tactical coordination. If you thrive on logic, love solving strategic puzzles, and want to make a real difference in military readiness, this is your opportunity to lead from behind the scenes. Job Description: What you’ll be doing Smart Scheduling with Data: Use training data, resource availability, and operational needs to build accurate and reliable schedules. You’ll make sure the data behind our decisions is always up-to-date and trustworthy. Finding the Best Options: Develop tools and methods to compare different ways of delivering training. You’ll assess each option’s risks and benefits, helping choose the most effective path forward. Using Advanced Tools: Work with specialist scheduling software (like CTEMS+ and GFS) to test and improve training plans. You’ll manage the links between units, events, and resources to keep everything running smoothly. Working with Stakeholders: Partner with teams across the Army to share insights and support decision-making. You’ll turn complex analysis into clear reports and visuals that help leaders make informed choices. Improving How We Work: After each training cycle, review what worked and what didn’t. You’ll help refine our processes and introduce new, data-driven ways to plan and deliver training more effectively.
