  • Act as a key escalation point for complex rostering challenges, providing expert guidance and resolution strategies.
  • Coach and mentor junior schedulers, sharing best practices and developing team capabilities.
  • Ensure compliance with the SCHADS award and industry regulations while balancing business objectives.
