Welcome to the ultimate guide on Self Recurring Jobs in Nexus Service Manager. If you're managing ongoing commercial contracts in industries like pest control, hygiene, or fire protection, this feature is a game-changer. It eliminates the hassle of manual rescheduling, ensuring your teams stay on track with consistent, efficient service delivery.
What Are Self Recurring Jobs?
Self Recurring Jobs is an intelligent automation tool designed to streamline the scheduling of repeat visits. Once set up, it automatically generates future jobs based on the completion of the current one—no more endless calendar juggling or forgotten follow-ups. This feature is perfect for businesses handling long-term commercial contracts, where reliability is key.
In the fast-paced worlds of pest control (think quarterly treatments), hygiene services (monthly deep cleans), and fire protection (annual inspections and maintenance), Self Recurring Jobs keeps your operations running smoothly. It reduces administrative overhead, minimizes errors, and helps you maintain strong client relationships by never missing a beat.
How Self Recurring Jobs Works
At its core, Self Recurring Jobs triggers the creation of the next visit automatically when a job is marked as complete. Here's a breakdown of the process:
- Initial Setup: Enable the Self Recurring option on your job or individual services. Define the renewal interval (e.g., weekly, monthly, quarterly) and contract length (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, or indefinite).
- Job Completion: When your technician finishes the job via the Nexus mobile app or the office "Complete Job" function, the system kicks into action.
- Automatic Generation: The next job is scheduled at the same time and day, assigned to the same technician. It includes the identical services, ensuring consistency.
- Smart Adjustments:
- If the date lands on a weekend, it shifts to the following Monday.
- Conflicts with existing jobs? It bumps to the next available slot.
- For mixed services (e.g., weekly pest checks alongside monthly hygiene audits), it intelligently alternates based on renewal patterns.
This hands-off approach means your pest control teams can focus on eradication rather than administration, hygiene pros on spotless results, and fire protection experts on compliance—without the scheduling stress.
Key Benefits for Your Industry
- Time Savings: Automate what used to take hours of manual entry.
- Consistency: Lock in preferred times and technicians for every client visit.

Whether you're servicing a chain of retail stores for pest prevention or ensuring office buildings meet fire safety standards, Self Recurring Jobs scales with your business.
