Brief Description
The role

• Gather information relating to infrastructure assets to provide reporting to Network Rail (High Speed) Stakeholders.
• Lead the preparation of the annual / bi-annual 'Asset Management Annual Statement' (AMAS) reports to be produced for London St Pancras Highspeed / ORR.
• Identify the appropriate performance indicators for engineering assets and set the specifications for these performance indicators, checking that both the indicators and the specifications are consistent with the wider engineering and Network Rail goals.
• Analyse existing asset data reports and lead the identification of Network Rail's future needs for information on assets, including those arising from commitments to external organisations, working with other groups and functions across the company.
• Provide advice to the IM relating to the data produced by the period reporting, and work with the Engineering functions to resolve any issues raised.
• Review Backlog, Faults and other IMR data so there is consistent reporting. Establish the currently available information on assets, assessing its completeness, quality, and other factors affecting its suitability.
• Manage nominated projects to improve the quality and availability of information on infrastructure assets.
