We have an exciting opportunity for a Data Assistant to support the delivery of our work across Greater Manchester, Merseyside, and Cheshire (GMMC). The Water, Land & Biodiversity (WLB) Asset Management Teams aim to improve management of WLB assets such as river and rain gauging equipment and stations, groundwater boreholes, and fish and eel passes.
We do this by implementing an asset management system that provides the framework, systems, and processes for a whole lifecycle approach to the management of our assets, ensuring they are safe, effective, and resilient, and that our future investment requirements are fully understood. Managing data about our assets is key to our vision of world-class asset management. To achieve this, we need accurate and reliable asset data and information.
We do this using our asset management database - AIMS:OM (Asset Information Management System, Operations and Maintenance) - which is transforming how assets are currently managed across the business. This role will include:
1. Cleansing and improving data in the AIMS:OM asset management database by identifying data improvement needs, accurately entering, checking, and correcting data, in accordance with the guidance and our national/area data improvement plan both within the area and across other areas.
2. Contributing to the cataloguing/T98 of assets by adding information to AIMS: OM.
3. Setting up recurring maintenance activities, inspections, and work orders.
4. Recording defects.
5. Working across all area teams to ensure potential data conflicts are identified and resolved.
6. Supporting ways to improve sustainability and resilience of assets by improving the data.
7. Potential for frequent site visits whilst working with asset management colleagues or for data verification.
The team covering Greater Manchester, Merseyside, and Cheshire manages assets holistically, including asset inspection, public safety, maintenance and repair, planning and delivery of improvement projects, programme management, and eventual decommissioning of uneconomical assets. You will report to the Water Land Biodiversity Asset Management Team Leader, who will guide your workload alongside the area Asset Management Technical Lead. You will be expected to:
1. Work independently and collaboratively to support asset management activities.
2. Communicate effectively with team members and stakeholders.
3. Develop and maintain good relationships.
4. Accurately collate and interpret data from various sources.
5. Pay close attention to detail, be efficient, and persevere with tasks.
6. Plan, track, and maintain data and information.
7. Work independently and as part of a team to make decisions and achieve outcomes.
8. Use systems and applications effectively.
At times, you will need to work alone, so a good knowledge of health & safety is essential. You should be comfortable working outdoors in challenging weather conditions year-round. Experience in asset management and maintenance/project work is advantageous but not essential, as training will be provided. You must be able to swim and hold a current UK driving license.
