Great with numbers? Enjoy solving problems, spotting patterns and working out how things fit together? We’re looking for a Schedule Compiler to join our Commercial team and help plan the schedules that keep London’s bus network moving. You don’t need to already be an experienced Schedule Compiler.

- Using scheduling systems and data to create efficient operational plans
- Analysing performance and resource data to improve schedule efficiency
- Estimating resource requirements in response to Arriva and Transport for London (TfL) initiatives

What we’re looking for
- Strong numerical and analytical skills, particularly when working with hours and minutes
- Good problem-solving and logical thinking skills
- Confidence using computers, spreadsheets and data
- Excellent attention to detail and accuracy
- The ability to work through complex problems to find the best solution
- Good organisation and communication skills
- A willingness to learn and develop
- Experience within transport planning, scheduling, timetabling, logistics, resource planning, data analysis or public transport would be beneficial, but is not essential.
Training will be provided in schedule compilation, scheduling systems, TfL requirements and London bus operations. Depending on your existing experience, the training period may take up to nine months.
