- Undertake the allocation activities in 3 phases:
- Pre-planning taking into account the expected demands, schedules and rostered resources, pre-plan the allocation of tasks 24-7 hours in advance of the shift as per agreed timetable and departments specifics.

- Real time, taking into account the availability of resources and the dynamic operational environment, undertake all aspects of the real-time allocation of resources in line with the actual loads.

- Actively work with the operational shift in-charge by providing expert advice, input and direction in order to respond to dynamic changes during the shift for example in cases of staff sickness or absence actively review allocation plans and make recommendations as to whether replacement or over-time is required. Undertake actions as agreed to update the administration section regarding staff non-attendance.
- Effectively communicate the resource allocation plan to the resources either directly or via the operational shift in charge and continually monitor the progress of the assigned tasks to the resources.
- Ensure that robust and effective resource allocation plans are in place and utilised during scheduled and unscheduled system outages.
- Work as part of a team of resource allocators ensuring smooth handover to and from colleagues on shift duties and covering for other departments or areas as required.
