- Demonstrated experience analysing large, complex and potentially unstructured datasets
- Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including complex formulas, pivot tables, data transformation, reconciliation and automation
- Strong data cleansing, validation and quality assurance capabilities
- Experience working within secure data environments with an understanding of data governance, privacy and security
- Strong analytical and strategic evaluation skills
- Ability to translate business requirements into practical data solutions
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present complex findings clearly to non-technical audiences
- A relevant qualification in Data Analytics, Statistics, ICT or a related discipline
Experience with electricity consumption and billing data, solar generation, energy markets or carbon abatement will be highly regarded.
What you'll get in return
This is an opportunity to work on a meaningful analytical project where your findings will directly contribute to the evaluation of a significant infrastructure and sustainability initiative. The engagement can be structured as either 3 months full-time or approximately 5.5 months at 3 days per week.
