• Align metadata across repositories including DocuBox and InfoNet.
• Provide a clear baseline view of controlled document health to the business.
• Apply sound judgement to determine document purpose, placement, and ownership.
• Build on the foundational work already completed and progress it into detailed, hands‑on remediation.
• Engage with stakeholders across the business to validate and assign ownership.

About You:

You are an experienced document controller who has had exposure to regulated industries such as power, gas or utilities. You must have a strong understanding of the technical content of documents and ability to make decisions on ownership.

• Must have experience in governance, audit, quality systems, or controlled document environments.
• Must have worked in Energy, Gas, or Utilities industry
