Key Responsibilities
- Support the development and implementation of E&P asset strategies and investment plans.
- Contribute to the creation and management of the route's renewal, refurbishment, and enhancement workbank.
- Develop technical requirements, specifications, and acceptance criteria for E&P engineering projects.
- Support project delivery teams to ensure engineering requirements are correctly interpreted and delivered.
- Assess asset condition and provide recommendations for future investment and intervention.
- Develop and maintain asset management plans and business cases.
- Engage with maintenance teams and stakeholders to gather technical information and inform planning decisions.
- Produce reports and presentations supporting business plan development and investment priorities.
- Identify emerging asset risks and advise on the operational impact of delayed or deferred works.
- Ensure accurate asset records and engineering documentation are maintained.
- Support continuous improvement initiatives and contribute to engineering assurance activities.
