Transport (Rail, Highways, Local Authorities, etc.)
Energy (Nuclear, Renewable Energy, Power, etc.)
Your role
- Provide robust cost intelligence that stands up under scrutiny from senior stakeholders, independent reviewers, and external assurance bodies.
- Analyse large and complex datasets to understand cost behaviour, variability, uncertainty, distributions, outliers, and structural drivers.
- Own the analytical integrity of cost intelligence outputs, ensuring conclusions reflect data quality, uncertainty, and delivery context - not convenience.
- Help shape how cost data is interpreted, challenged, and relied upon across senior stakeholders, programme teams, commercial teams, and assurance bodies.
- Support the establishment of expectations for analytical rigour, proportionality, governance, and disciplined reasoning across the Cost Intelligence community.
- Test assumptions, methodologies, and narratives using structured, evidence‑based reasoning.
- Work closely with cost, commercial, and programme teams to ensure analysis aligns with scope maturity, delivery context, and decision needs.
- Contribute to shared analytical frameworks, benchmarks, models, and standards that advance consistency and quality across major programmes.
- Be a technical supporter of strong data governance, provenance, lineage and quality across all cost datasets.
- Where appropriate, support improved automation, analytical tooling, and standardisation to increase efficiency and consistency.
- Explain complex analysis, uncertainty, and limitations clearly to senior, non‑technical audiences, helping shape better‑informed decisions.
- Confidently defend analytical conclusions when asked, including from reviewers, senior stakeholders, and subject‑matter experts.
- Apply judgement, proportionality, and clarity - avoiding false precision and prioritising insight over volume.
