- Collaboration and integration: working closely with Power Resilience colleagues and wider teams to keep plans aligned across engineering, maintenance, operations and delivery, balancing operational needs with resilience investment priorities.
- Stakeholder coordination: building positive working relationships with internal and external teams to coordinate planned and reactive works, make the best use of resources and minimise service disruption.
- Performance and compliance: developing, monitoring and reporting on planning KPIs, budgets and compliance with internal policies and external standards, supporting high-quality planning performance, continuous improvement and shared success.
