• Lead smooth handovers from major capital projects into operations, enabling safe, efficient, and compliant transitions.
• Safeguard integrity and governance of engineering information, setting standards that reduce rework, mitigate risk, and support compliance.
• Champion best practices in lifecycle management, embedding ways of working that make information trusted and valuable across the asset.
• Coach and mentor colleagues, building a resilient and future-ready IM capability within the business.
• Drive innovation in digital information systems, working with IT and business stakeholders to enhance usability, adoption, and effectiveness.
• Act as the subject matter expert, influencing decision-makers, contractors, and third parties on how information is managed and shared.
• Engage the business through clear communications, training, and awareness activities that strengthen the culture around information management.
