We believe more effective Information & Data Management is a key enabler to achieve wider societal goals such as NetZero.

Information Management

Our information management approach seeks to utilise data intelligently, connecting disjointed data environments to enable future use of the data throughout the entire asset life cycle. Our Information Management teams are deployed on a wide range of major projects developing Information Management strategies, implementing connected data environments, and working with a diverse range of people to share knowledge, and guide teams through new ways of working.

In your day-to-day role, you will be working with project teams to apply improved methods to capture, structure and communicate data. You will be responsible for developing, maintaining, and optimizing information-based systems. This might include databases, visualizations, design co-ordination or any other form of information within the engineering sector but ultimately focused on leading-edge solutions. You will work alongside some of the brightest minds in the business who will share your quest to learn, improve and transform the delivery of engineering projects. You will work with a wide range of stakeholders, supporting change in the way teams work, helping to embed new processes, tools, and digital ways of working. Our projects all vary in length and will cover a diverse range of fields, but the vision will remain the same, implement technology to improve our ways of working.
