Support the Operational Readiness team by collecting and checking workstream information, maintaining accurate trackers and evidence records, and preparing clear progress updates. Under guidance, the Specialist helps identify missing inputs, overdue actions and emerging dependencies so that accountable owners can resolve them before operational activation. Key responsibilities ·   Update readiness plans, checklists, milestone trackers and action logs using inputs from workstream owners; record the source and date of each update. ·   Collect and organise evidence for workforce, training, procedures, assets, systems, permits and service mobilisation against agreed readiness criteria. ·   Check submissions for completeness and consistency; flag missing evidence, conflicting dates or unassigned actions to the responsible specialist or manager. ·   Prepare routine status summaries, dashboards and meeting packs that distinguish verified completion from work still in progress. ·   Maintain risk, issue, dependency and decision logs; follow up assigned actions and escalate blockers promptly. ·   Support coordination of readiness workshops, site inspections, testing, rehearsals and operational trials, including minutes and action follow-up. ·   Assist with reviews of handover documentation, operating procedures and mobilisation plans by recording comments and tracking responses. ·   Maintain orderly document control, version history and traceable records for readiness assurance and transition to operations. ·   Support post-activation close-out and lessons learned, and suggest practical improvements to templates and reporting.
