You will support investigations and safety risk assessments through data reconstructions and statistical comparisons across fleet, routes and operational contexts.

Maintaining strict data governance and confidentiality, you will ensure traceability of analysis methods, monitor data integrity, support audits and continuously enhance FDM programme effectiveness.
