  • Highlight risks and issues identified during any Major Incident.
  • Evaluate recovery actions to ensure a recovery plan is in place or actively being developed.
  • Propose workarounds and methods to expedite incident recovery.
  • Continuously engage with the recovery team and identify additional support teams, individuals, or third parties that could contribute value or those that can be released.
  • Conduct root cause analysis and preventative management as necessary, ensuring all relevant parties are informed and involved.
  • Participate in post-Major Incident reviews following successful recovery.
  • Document or address risks or issues arising from post-Major Incident reviews.
  • Engage in Problem Management activities to ensure root causes, preventative measures, and permanent solutions are identified and implemented.
  • Perform Incident Management (P3/P4) activities as required.
  • Maintain up-to-date key support information, such as emergency contact lists.
  • Provide 'Out of Hours' Standby and On-Call Support for Major Incident Management on a Rota basis.
