- Translate operational data into actionable insight (performance drivers, exception reporting, trend analysis and early warnings)
- Work closely with internal data/analytics resources and/or specialist consultants to deliver tooling upgrades; then help maintain and improve the solution post-implementation
- Produce investor-ready outputs: concise narratives, strong visuals and recommendations (not just data dumps)

- Ensure operational contracts, KPIs, reporting packs and supplier governance are in place from day one
Governance, risk & compliance

- Promote high HSEQ standards through effective contractor management and adherence to site and company policies
Requirements:
- Experience in asset management / operations management within energy or infrastructure (storage, thermal/flexible generation, renewables, utilities, industrials, etc.)
