• Ensure asset health data provides a trusted basis for investment planning, asset risk assessments and regulatory submissions.
• Oversee the ongoing development and governance of the asset health index and associated performance measures.
• Assess and prioritise opportunities for new condition monitoring technologies, data sources and analytical approaches.
• Work closely with Asset Strategy, Risk Modelling, Engineering and Operations teams to ensure our understanding of asset health supports effective decision making.
• Drive continuous improvement across asset information, data governance and condition monitoring processes.
