My suggestion for you when you’re scheduling on-site employees or off-site contractors, is to check out the When I Work app. You set up staff in order of experience and expertise in the business and can schedule staff according to the hours they want and the times they want to work. When a staff member wants to change shifts, they can offer their shift as an open shift and other employees can respond to a text and take the shift.
