One of Brisbane’s large education providers is rolling out new mandatory training across thousands of staff and students, and they need a Power BI Developer/Analyst to build the reporting that tracks who needs it, who’s completed it, and who hasn’t.

This is a project role with a clear scope. A Data Engineer is already handling the extraction and pipelines, so you'll pick up governed datasets and focus on what you do best: semantic models, DAX, well-designed reports and getting them accepted by the business.

What's on offer

- Clear ownership of the full Power BI reporting layer, from metric definitions through to BAU handover
- A well-structured project team (PM, BA, Data Engineer, Solution Architect) so you're not doing everyone's job
- Work that matters: compliance reporting that supports a safer, more respectful workplace for staff and students
- Hybrid working, with a start date that lets you finish the year strong

What you'll be doing

- Translate approved cohort, eligibility, lifecycle and completion rules into measures, dimensions, filters and acceptance criteria
- Build Power BI semantic models and DAX measures over governed datasets, including point-in-time, period-based and dual-role reporting
- Design accessible, intuitive dashboards for operational, management and compliance audiences
- Configure row-level security and apply data minimisation so people only see what they're authorised to see
- Validate report outputs against reconciled data and business rules, and chase down discrepancies with the Data Engineer
- Prepare test scenarios and coordinate report-focused UAT with business owners
- Document everything (metric definitions, models, security roles, user guides) and hand over cleanly to BAU





What you'll bring

Must-have

- Solid hands-on experience building enterprise Power BI semantic models, reports and dashboards
- Strong DAX and Power Query, with good judgement on what belongs in the dataset versus the report
- Row-level security and workspace access configuration
- Experience turning business or compliance rules into clear, traceable metrics
- Report validation and UAT experience
- Clear communicator who can explain data limitations to non-technical stakeholders

Desirable

- Compliance, training or HR reporting (completion, eligibility, cohort-based reporting)
- Experience in education or government
- Delivering reporting under privacy, audit and data-minimisation requirements
- Exposure to learning management system data

Essential requirement The successful candidate will need a current criminal history check (within the last 6 months).

Start date is 1 December 2026, 6 month contract so you'll need to be available by then.
