Cassidy Browne

We are looking to recruit an AMO Digital Change Lead to drive practical digital transformation across our Aviation, Maritime and Offshore (AMO) division. The role will review how we work across our markets, challenge current ways of working, identify inefficiencies, and implement digital improvements to speed, consistency and ease of delivery.

The role moves AMO beyond ad‑hoc digital tools towards a structured, delivery‑focused approach to change. You will work directly with engineers, designers, master planners, advisory teams, project managers and support colleagues to map live projects and priority bids, uncover duplication and friction, and deploy digital tools, automation, analytics and AI to improve outcomes. The focus is practical, real‑world change that supports the AMO business plan around productivity, efficiency, adoption and information management.

• Lead a structured review of AMO’s divisional activities across Aviation, Ports and Coastal & Offshore to understand how work is delivered, where inefficiencies arise and where digital change can add measurable value.
• Work directly with engineers, designers, master planners, advisory teams, project managers and support staff to map current workflows on live projects and priority bids, identifying duplication, friction, rework and avoidable administration.
• Develop and maintain a prioritised pipeline of digital improvements, including quick wins, medium‑term process changes and longer‑term opportunities requiring investment or wider business alignment.
• 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.

We are seeking an individual with strong digital, IT and change leadership skills, combined with a practical understanding of project delivery in engineering and advisory environments. The ideal candidate will be able to work credibly with technical and support staff across all levels of the division, understand the realities of how projects and bids are delivered and translate that understanding into practical digital improvements that make a measurable difference.

A background in engineering, infrastructure delivery or a related technical environment, together with knowledge of the clients and markets AMO works in, would be highly beneficial.

• 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…
