• Extract, sort, organise and classify engineering data ready for migration.
• Clean, validate and quality-check data, identifying missing, duplicated or inconsistent information.
• Prepare 3D CAD models, technical drawings and associated engineering documentation for migration into the PLM system.
• Work closely with PLM and engineering teams across Safran sites to coordinate data transfer and migration activities.
• Ensure migrated data meets company standards and agreed data quality requirements.
• Identify opportunities to improve the way engineering data is structured, managed and maintained.
• Develop and document improved processes, procedures and working instructions.
• Support the introduction and training of tools and processes associated with the data migration project.
• Monitor project progress against agreed milestones and timescales.
• Report issues, risks and opportunities to the Engineering Manager and relevant stakeholders.
• Maintain project plans, dashboards and KPI reporting.
• Work collaboratively with engineering, PLM and other cross-functional teams.
• Support the implementation of best practice in engineering data management.

This would suit someone with a background in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Data, CAD, PLM, Product Data Management or Data Migration, who enjoys working with technical information and solving data quality and organisation problems., * Experience working with engineering, manufacturing or product data with Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

• Experience working with large volumes of structured or unstructured technical information.
• Experience of data cleansing, validation, organisation or migration.
