Role
This is an excellent opportunity to build a centralised, structured data system within Microsoft 365 / SharePoint to support our client in migrating legacy operational data from basic spreadsheets, documents, and messaging platforms into a secure digital environment.
About the role:
This is a 12-week internship opportunity with Ox Grills, as part of the Made Smarter Internship Programme.

- Build a structured, secure Microsoft 365 / SharePoint data system based on mapping produced by the MTC.

- Documenting system structures, access protocols, and brief user guidelines to ensure sustainable adoption post-migration.
