Embed digital engineering methods, process, frameworks, and practices across the asset lifecycle.
Ensure the digital engineering methodology is integrated within the wider Transpower strategy and context and its implementation creates measurable time and quality advantages over non-digital engineering.
Drive continuous improvement in digital engineering within Transpower.
You'll also ensure relevant aspects of digital engineering are integrated into Transpower's data and information management frameworks, and benefits realisation is in line with business cases.
As we scale and drive throughput to enable accelerated electrification, you'll ensure efficiencies are captured through a reduction in project delivery time and an uplift in quality which results in cost savings, resulting in Transpower and its supply chain achieving a measurable uplift in digital engineering capability.
