• Input all Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) activities for these assets.
• Ensure PPM schedules are correctly structured and assigned to assets.
• Collaborate with Infrastructure Engineers and Asset Handover Coordinators to verify asset data against physical conditions (e.g., checking pole numbers and equipment IDs against locations).
• Work with maintenance teams to cross-check data accuracy before assets go live.

Operational Support:

• Maintain the AMIS asset registers for both WBHE and BEE.
• Hold regular communication sessions with stakeholders regarding asset register updates.

Produce monthly reports with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to track progress, including:

• Monthly tracking of asset records against expected totals.
• Ensuring 100% accuracy in asset details (location, classification, unique IDs).
• 100% of assets entered into AMIS at least 2 months before service launch.
• 100% of PPM schedules configured at least 1 month prior to service launch.

System Testing and Collaboration:

• Work closely with Maintenance Planners to test AMIS functionality, ensuring accurate work instructions and timely alerts for asset interventions.

To be successful in this role, it is essential that you have:

• A good level of IT Knowledge alongside a working understanding of business processes,
