      By reviewing and maintaining the water asset data inventory within the Corporate Asset Register (CAR), I was at the forefront of the information that informed future maintenance and investment plans. Such a large dataset, like the CAR, which was created over many decades from many different data sources, required me to interpret that data which naturally, had varying degrees of accuracy attached to them, in order to ensure that the Register remained up to date as part of regulatory requirements for NI Water. Quality Control processes which involved utilising topographical knowledge and data interpretation skills, were key in ensuring that these datasets were maintained to the expected high standard.
