2. Understanding external legislation and regulation, translating them into group policies and procedures, and guiding regional teams on technical safety matters to protect people and the company.
3. Monitoring, reviewing, and providing assurance reports on regional compliance with the Group's asset management policies and procedures.
4. Ensuring ABP remains knowledgeable in asset management and proactively pursues continuous improvement.
5. Collaborating with the Asset Data Manager to ensure robust asset master data and standardized scheduling and planning of inspections and maintenance across regions, aligned with best practices.
6. Working with the Group Asset Management team to identify and deploy technology and innovation supporting the Group's strategic goals.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
