- Analyse asset, project and financial data to support investment and planning decisions.
- Prepare executive reports,



dashboards and briefing papers for governance and investment forums.
- Facilitate planning workshops and work closely with stakeholders across multiple capital portfolios.
- Drive continuous improvement across capital planning, reporting and scheduling processes.
