  Who we are
  You know those big cities that still feel like small towns? Where everyone’s friendly and helps each other out? That’s like Grant Thornton. Except here we’re all professionals and there isn’t a mayor or a general store. What we’re trying to say is that we’re a large and growing professional services firm that still feels like a community. We employ over 3000 people across Canada, and we truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live. That’s what’s most important to us. We’re building a thriving organization that’s purpose driven and still want to remember what your favourite milkshake flavour is.

  The Utilization Coordinator is integral in everyday working of the Utilization team. The goal of the coordinator is to understand the work inside and out, while finding where their passion lies within the larger Utilization team.

  As a Utilization Coordinator your responsibilities will include:
  • Daily scheduling for colleagues in our systems, which includes, maintaining tracker data, monitoring resource request on the schedule board, and ensuring the integrity of files as they flow through the scheduling board ensuring the proper order and process has been followed.
  • Prep and pull some reports by request of more senior members from any of our systems.
  • Support in the hosting of weekly scheduling meetings with business units you become familiar with. Working up to hosting.
  • Support newly hired colleagues on resource management expectations and how to best utilize the resource managing team as a resource.

At Grant Thornton, you’ll work with inspiring leaders who support your development, both personally and professionally. This is a place where your insatiable curiosity enables you to think, see and hear from a variety of perspectives, a place where every day is different and having the courage to grow is part of who you are.
