You’ll collaborate with both onshore and offshore teams to ensure catalogue data is accurate, timely, and transaction-ready for all project stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Ensure compliance with AS9 construction catalogue rules; own and record deviations using a graded approach.
• Lead and guide offshore cataloguing teams in bi-weekly meetings.
• Ensure all materials are catalogued ahead of time to enable efficient site delivery and maintenance support.

• Lead an onshore team responsible for bulk installation and just-in-time material catalogue creation.
• Work alongside the Preconstruction Team to ensure catalogue maturity supports the 16WLA planning.
• Contribute to full lifecycle asset management from warehouse to site installation and handover.

About You

• Excellent attention to detail, especially when working with large data sets.
• Effective communication skills – both verbal and written.
• Strong IT capabilities: Excel, PowerPoint, and ideally Power BI.
• Familiarity with digital tools for material and asset management.
• Understanding of data organisation, sources, and governance.
• Experience with Enterprise Asset Management Systems.
