Any Schedulers?

[I make oil]

I have a scheduler/planner who works for me. To be honest it would be an extremely boring job to me. He attends all of the meetings for all departments and basically runs a spread sheet. He knows everyone and is a really likeable guy but doesn't really ''do'' anything.

Another of my colleagues used to work as one and he hated it. His title was simops coordinator and shut down planner. Said he did the same thing. On the plus side you do get to interact with lots of departments and see what goes on in them and see how the big picture comes together. I think it would be a good stepping stool for a later carer in management but would be easy to get stuck in.
