• Use Microsoft Excel to organise, cleanse, validate, and analyse maintenance data.

• Produce regular progress updates for the Maintenance Engineering Project Lead and wider management team.
• Support continuous improvement activities relating to maintenance planning, data quality, and reporting.
• Maintain accurate project records and ensure changes are documented appropriately.
