- Receive, interpret, input, and update technical information to ensure the integrity of recorded information and record databases.
- Continuously improve processes and data to ensure all components of the water balance are as accurate as possible and readily available for timely reporting.
- Evaluate and analyse operational information and understand data integrity difficulties to resolve basic problems.
- Support the development of new systems and insight into leakage operations to enable field teams to work as efficiently as possible.
- Other duties may include: Supporting the roll-out of Smart Water Networks and interpreting the resulting data and alarms to reduce leakage and the impact of supply interruptions.
