Join to apply for the Asset Engineer – Process & Operations role at SGS

Our Client, National Grid Isle of Grain, are currently looking for an Asset Engineer – Process & Operations working within the Asset team, responsible for monitoring and analysing operational processes to ensure optimal efficiency and safety. The successful candidate will require a good understanding of site operations, how maintenance is carried out across multiple disciplines, root cause analysis, and good communication skills. We are planning for an immediate start, on a six-month contract. This is a full-time site-based role.

PAYE only

Key Responsibilities Include

• Performance analysis and diagnostics: Investigate and diagnose asset performance issues, either through direct reporting from Operations or by conducting reviews such as monthly meetings, process surveillance, or utilisation reports.
• Define desired outcomes for improvement initiatives while minimising disruption to plant operations and avoiding unnecessary burdens on Maintenance teams.
• Process and System Optimisation: Lead initiatives to improve operational efficiency, such as streamlining maintenance capture in Maximo, managing Risk Register items, and implementing solutions that may involve Change Requests (CRs) or operational expenditure (OPEX).
• Example initiatives may include optimising equipment running order, refining inspection processes, or improving preventive maintenance strategies.
• Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Develop a strong understanding of site operations and maintenance practices across C&I, Mechanical, Electrical, and Cyber/Systems disciplines.
• Translate operational challenges into effective, cross-functional solutions that address root causes and deliver measurable outcomes.
• Stakeholder Engagement and Reporting: Present findings, recommendations, and data-driven insights to managers and senior leadership in a clear, structured manner.
• Use tools such as Power BI and emerging technologies (e.g., machine learning, Cognite) to support data-driven decision making.
• Anticipate and address questions from leadership, ensuring alignment with organisational goals.
• Ad Hoc and Interdisciplinary Work: Undertake tasks that fall outside the scope of discipline-specific Asset Engineers, leveraging broad knowledge of interdependencies between teams and disciplines.

Requirements

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to diagnose root causes of asset performance issues.
• Proficiency in data analysis and reporting tools (e.g., Power BI), with the ability to present complex findings clearly to senior stakeholders.
• Understanding of maintenance systems (e.g., Maximo) and change management processes.
• Knowledge of cross-disciplinary site operations (C&I, Mechanical, Electrical, Cyber/Systems).
• Familiarity with emerging technologies (e.g., ML, Cognite) and their application to asset performance optimisation.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
