About the Company
Our client is a specialist technology and engineering consultancy that partners with major organisations across critical infrastructure, utilities and regulated sectors to deliver large-scale transformation and resilience programmes. They are currently resourcing a high-profile engagement with a significant Northern Ireland operator, giving the successful candidate exposure to a complex, safety-critical environment and genuine influence over how the organisation plans for and responds to disruption.
The Role
This is a Business Analyst role with a clear and meaningful mandate: lead the design, facilitation and delivery of a comprehensive Business Continuity framework across all directorates of a large, regulated operational organisation. You will work directly with senior business leaders and subject matter experts to build Business Impact Assessments, map critical processes, and translate that analysis into practical, well-governed Business Continuity Plans. You will also support the broader business analysis function, helping shape requirements for new technology solutions and change initiatives. This suits someone who is equally comfortable running a workshop with senior stakeholders and writing the plan that follows it.
