• Identify and implement practical opportunities to reduce repetitive manual tasks, improve the quality and consistency of outputs, strengthen access to lessons learned and standard content, and improve information management across the division
• Promote and support the use of automation, analytics, AI and specialist tools where they can improve delivery, while ensuring solutions remain proportionate, governed and aligned with business needs
• Work with project and bid teams to embed digital thinking at bid stage, project mobilisation and project close‑out so that opportunities are identified early and lessons are captured systematically
• Support delivery of AMO’s wider digital agenda, including divisional investment planning
• Collaborate with divisional leadership and central digital or technology colleagues to build the case for targeted investment, stronger support models and improved access to appropriate digital tools across the division
• Track and communicate the benefits of digital change, including improvements to productivity, consistency, technical quality, collaboration and team wellbeing
• Help create a practical transformation engine for AMO by ensuring digital activity is focused on solving real delivery problems and supporting the outputs required by the AMO business plan

• Strong digital and IT capability, with experience identifying and implementing technology‑enabled improvements in delivery, operations or project environments
• Good understanding of digital tools, automation, AI and information management, and the judgement to apply them pragmatically to real business needs
• Experience of leading or supporting change programmes, continuous improvement initiatives, process reviews or digital transformation activities
• Ability to engage credibly with engineers, designers, master planners, advisory teams, project managers and support colleagues, and to challenge existing ways of working constructively
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to understand workflows, identify root causes of inefficiency, and prioritise opportunities for improvement
• Excellent communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to work across all levels of the division and build support for change
• Experience in engineering, infrastructure, technical advisory or a related environment would be highly beneficial
• Knowledge of the types of clients, projects and delivery models relevant to AMO would be advantageous
