About the role?
We are currently seeking a Master Data Management (MDM) Analyst within the work and asset information team. Working across the water and wastewater business units, this proactive role will be responsible for understanding the asset data in SAP PM and GIS, the quality of the data and how it can be utilised to make business decisions.
You will take ownership of the asset and maintenance plan update process by engaging with various teams and stakeholders to ensure they understand the data they are supplying to the team. You will also need to be proactive in engaging with these teams to identify where we are missing data or receiving incorrect data and ensuring maintenance of data quality through rigorous change management. Proactive data quality monitoring and an ongoing program identifying improvements that need to be made will also be part of the role
What makes this role unique?
You will have the opportunity to work with a range of teams and business units within the wholesale business including an alliance of partners who support the companies’ capital delivery programme. We cover all aspects of the business from building new treatment sites through to the decommissioning process and implementation of new maintenance regimes. No two days are the same and if you enjoy a challenge and thrive on working in an environment that offers variety, where you will be liaising with multiple areas of the business, this is the ideal role for you.
Key Accountabilities:
- Creation and updating of work and asset data within SAP PM by engaging with key business stakeholders to ensure the timeliness and quality of data provided.
- Providing training and support to allow data providers to understand the importance of the data supplied.
