Lead monthly configuration status reporting, collecting, validating and analysing data, KPIs, risks and programme impacts.
Identify and assess configuration differences and deviations across design, build and commissioning baselines.
Coordinate with Design, Engineering, Commissioning, Nuclear Safety, Project Controls and Delivery teams to ensure consistent reporting and effective communication.
Support assurance, compliance and audit activities, including self-assessments and improvement initiatives.
Monitor actions and commitments, ensuring timely completion and accurate reporting.
Identify opportunities to improve data quality, reporting processes and configuration management practices.

About You

We are looking for candidates who can demonstrate:

Experience in Configuration Management, Project Controls, Systems Engineering, PMO or Programme Management.
Strong analytical skills, with experience collecting, validating and interpreting data.
Experience preparing management reports, dashboards, governance packs and action trackers.
Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to work across multidisciplinary teams.
Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and PowerPoint, with Power BI experience desirable.
A degree or equivalent experience in Engineering, Configuration Management, Project Management, Systems Engineering or a related discipline.
Experience within the nuclear, defence, major infrastructure or other regulated industries would be advantageous.
