We’re the UK's largest ports operator with a network of 21 ports around Britain. We handle around one quarter of the UK's seaborne trade and contribute £7.5 billion to our economy every year. It’s a story we’re proud of but it doesn’t end there. We’re transforming our business and embracing the future. We offer a vast range of roles spanning the UK, all rooted in a culture that welcomes diversity, fosters talent, encourages internal movement and progression, and places safety as our number one priority.

We are the largest port operator in the UK, with 21 ports around the country stretching from Kings Lynn to Troon. With a wide customer base, handling various cargoes and volumes, we provide support for over half the UK’s offshore wind and catalyse investment, good jobs and prosperity in coastal communities. This is enabled in part by our Engineering teams who work to maintain and improve our equipment and assets ensuring continual availability for our Operations teams.

A key factor within this is our Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS) which allows our engineering technicians and management to have correct, accurate data in real time. We're currently transitioning between CMMSs and are looking for a Data Specialist to join our Central function as a Master Data Specialist on a Fixed Term Contract basis. We're transitioning from Mainsaver to SAP, and ideally we'd love someone with hands on experience with both softwares.

• Master Data Entry & Maintenance:
  Create, update, and maintain engineering master data records in the EAM system, including asset registers, asset hierarchy relationships, maintenance plans, and spare parts' inventory.

Identify any data gaps or inconsistencies during migration and coordinate cleansing or enrichment of that data prior to go-live.
• Assist in the development and use of data cleansing tools or templates to streamline the cleanup of large data sets. After go-live, continue to support data-related project tasks, ensuring a smooth transition of engineering teams to the new system with high-quality data.
• Monitoring & Reporting:
  Utilise data quality dashboards and reports to monitor key data quality indicators on an ongoing basis.
• Regularly report on the status of engineering master data with metrics on fields complete, duplicates, and naming convention compliance.
• Highlight risks or issues to management (e.g., drop in data accuracy or backlog of updates).

• Must possess good analytical skills necessary for daily analysis and evaluation of data with a keen eye and attention to detail.

Ideally you'll be based in the Humber region near our Ports in Immingham or Hull, however we are flexible around the location and happy for the right person to be based in any of our major port locations. The role will involve a high level of travel at the start of the project to meet with key stakeholders across the business;

this will reduce over time but occasional travel will still be…
