What you’ll be doing
Core activities:
- Collation of cost and production data from projects, working with and re‑processing raw data where necessary to generate accurate benchmarks that are consistent with the benchmarking structure.
- Checking and validating the benchmarks generated.
- Capturing and recording engineering data for all assets benchmarked.
- Capturing data on templates and preparing and finalising them in a consistent and structured way to enable upload to the system.
- Support the development of more automated data collection processes by working collaboratively with relevant teams to identify solutions to improve data structuring and processing, to facilitate more frequent benchmarking cycles.
- Support preconstruction and delivery teams to incorporate benchmark coding in estimates, forecasts, finance and planning systems to enable systematic and periodic harvesting of benchmarking data.
- The role will require travel to various project locations to meet teams and work together to collate data, although this is not envisaged to be regular travel.
Supporting activities:
- Support preconstruction and project teams in their use of the benchmarking system, and gather feedback and ideas for improvements.
- Support preconstruction and delivery teams by providing relevant comparable benchmarks from the system to support their activity.
- Support preconstruction and project teams to produce options assessments comparing respective cost, time and carbon, utilising data from the system and other sources as appropriate.
Deliverables & Controls:
- Benchmarking is an essential part of governance, supporting decision‑making at bid and preconstruction stages – support preconstruction and project delivery teams to achieve this by providing consistent and accurate data records.
- Timely, accurate and useful input to estimating, commercial and optioneering support, by request.
- Continual improvement of benchmarking processes and systems through learning and experience; providing recommendations for improvements.
