• Identify performance deviations, underperformance events, and emerging trends through continuous data analysis.
• Support root cause analysis of production losses and equipment performance issues.
• Assist in maintaining loss classification records and availability calculations in accordance with established methodologies.
• Compare actual asset performance against expected production models, P50/P90 estimates, budgets, and contractual performance targets.

Reporting & Data Analysis

• Prepare regular performance reports, dashboards, and KPI summaries for Asset Managers and internal stakeholders.
• Analyse operational and SCADA data to identify opportunities for performance improvement.
• Support the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual performance reviews.
• Ensure data quality, consistency, and accuracy within performance monitoring systems and reports.
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of automated reporting tools and performance dashboards.

Optimization & Continuous Improvement

• Support the identification and evaluation of performance improvement opportunities across the operating portfolio.
• Track corrective actions and optimization initiatives, monitoring implementation progress and effectiveness.
• Assist in analysing equipment degradation trends, recurring failures, and performance risks.
• Contribute to fleet-wide optimization initiatives focused on increasing energy production and asset availability.
• Support benchmarking exercises between assets and across technologies to identify best practices and improvement opportunities.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Asset Managers to communicate performance findings and support improvement action plans.
