About The Role

Chandler Macleod is seeking an experienced Data Engineer or Data Analyst to support asset management and operational improvement initiatives for Rio Tinto. Reporting to the Principal Asset, Data & Systems, you will work closely with operational, maintenance and asset management stakeholders to analyse complex information and turn it into practical business insights.

The role centres on operational and maintenance data, with a focus on identifying opportunities to improve equipment reliability, reduce waste and optimise maintenance performance. You will develop reporting solutions, work with data from SAP and use SQL to extract and analyse information.



Your insights will help support initiatives involving fixed plant and mobile equipment, including reducing tool time and improving spare parts management.

This opportunity would suit someone who enjoys solving data challenges and communicating findings in a clear, actionable way. Experience with asset management, maintenance, reliability, mining, resources, manufacturing or another heavy industry environment will be valuable.

Experience in mining, resources, heavy industry, utilities, manufacturing or similar operational settings is desirable. Exposure to Databricks, Python, R or other programming languages is advantageous, as is familiarity with maintenance,



reliability and asset management principles or continuous improvement initiatives.

Responsibilities

You will analyse asset management and maintenance datasets to identify trends, performance gaps and improvement opportunities. You will develop and maintain Power BI dashboards, extract and transform data using SQL, and work with SAP asset management and maintenance information to support business decision-making.

You will also contribute to initiatives designed to reduce maintenance tool time for fixed plant and mobile equipment, and analyse inventory and spare parts data to identify opportunities to reduce waste.
