Day-to-day management of a team of six analysts overseeing the deployment of SMETS1 and SMETS2 Smart meter firmware. Ensuring all impacts to the customer are considered when deploying firmware. Working to keep meters at a compliant status, and reducing the need to replace them. The team currently operate at a 99% N0 value for all compliant firmware across multiple manufacturers, making the team industry-leading. A key element of my role is to work with 3rd parties in the industry and bring them together to support our deployment activity as well as our ongoing enrolment and adoption activity. Mitigating any risk to the business by reducing the number of failed deployments. Overseeing multiple projects across the business, such as using failed firmware deployments to drive the reduction of rental costs for inherited meters. One of my biggest achievements in this role is achieving 99% of all SMETS1 successfully enrolled and adopted by the DCC. Because of this EON is industry-leading in this area.
