Scheduling Manager
Job Title: Scheduling Manager
Location: Mokena, IL (on-site)
Salary: $68,000.00-$70,000 annually
Schedule: Full-time
OVERVIEW
Blue Line Security Solutions is hiring a Scheduling Manager to oversee officer coverage across our client sites. This role owns the master schedule — building it, protecting it, and fixing it when things go sideways at 2 a.m. You'll work side by side with our operations Managers and field supervisors to make sure every post is filled by a properly licensed officer, every day.
This is a fast-moving, people-heavy role. If you're organized, calm under pressure, and good at getting people to pick up a shift they didn't plan on, you'll do well here.
JOB DESCRIPTION
- Build, publish, and maintain schedules for all assigned client sites, including 24/7 and multi-shift accounts
- Fill open shifts, call-offs, and no-shows quickly to maintain 100% post coverage
- Monitor and control overtime; identify recurring coverage gaps and recommend staffing fixes
- Verify that every scheduled officer holds a current PERC (and FOID/Firearm Control Card where the post requires it) plus any site-specific training before they're placed
- Coordinate daily with Operations Managers, field supervisors, and account managers on coverage changes, new starts, and client requests
- Maintain accurate time and attendance records and resolve punch discrepancies ahead of each payroll close
- Track and report on fill rate, overtime, unbilled hours, and turnover trends for leadership
- Support onboarding by scheduling new officers into training and initial post assignments
- Serve in an after-hours on-call rotation for urgent coverage issues
- Supervise and develop scheduling/dispatch staff as the team grows
- Partner with HR on attendance documentation, availability changes, and leave-related coverage
