Are you curious, detail-focused and someone who enjoys understanding the “why” behind the numbers?
We're looking for positive, motivated people to join our growing Centralised Control Room team, using data and insight to solve real operational challenges and help teams perform at their best. This is much more than a traditional Data Analyst role. You'll work with colleagues across multiple sites, getting into the detail, identifying root causes and turning insight into practical action that can directly influence productivity and performance. You don't need to know everything from day one. Whether your experience comes from operations, planning, performance, data or another transferable background, what matters most is that you're curious, comfortable asking questions, enjoy solving problems and are keen to learn. If you want a role where your ideas are valued, your work has a visible impact and you can develop while helping shape how we work in the future, we'd love to hear from you.
A TYPICAL DAY MAY INVOLVE
- Using data to spot opportunities, explore the detail and turn insight into action, helping teams improve productivity and operational performance
- Monitoring performance across multiple sites, using strong attention to detail to identify trends, exceptions and anomalies that need attention
- Working with colleagues and managers to understand challenges, identify root causes and find practical solutions
- Providing clear, timely and accurate performance insights that help teams make informed resource and operational decisions
- Supporting daily performance routines, bringing together the right information and helping teams focus on what matters most
- Investigating performance and data issues, drilling into the granular detail to understand what's driving the result and working with others to resolve issues
- Providing insight to support key management routines including performance reviews, 1:1s, Gemba walks and process confirmation
This is a fast-paced Data Analyst role that offers much more than reporting. If you're naturally curious, enjoy getting into the detail and want to understand the "why" behind the numbers, you'll have the opportunity to turn data into action and directly influence how our operations perform.

- Like working with data, but also enjoy working with people and making a difference
