* Produce incident, plant failure, and post‐event technical reports, including root cause analysis where required.
* Engage with stakeholders to support changes to processes, strategies, priorities, and delivery timeframes where required.
* Use SAP, GIS, and other enterprise systems to support maintenance, fault, and rectification activities.
* Undertake targeted data quality checks and audits to support accuracy and compliance of asset and work records.
