Data Analyst

2323 East Maitland Pacific Smiles Group

Job Description

Two roles available! Permanent and 12-month fixed term
Based at East Maitland with hybrid working arrangements after training

Graduates welcome

Start your data career with purpose

At Pacific Smiles Group, we open our dental centres every day for one reason: to improve the oral health of all Australians to world’s best.

Behind that sits a data platform that more than 120 dental centres depend on. Finance, Payroll, People & Culture, Marketing, Clinical Support and Practice teams all use it every day.

We’re growing our IT Data Engineering team and have two Data Analyst roles available:

• One permanent, full-time role
• One 12-month fixed-term role - full time hours

You can start now or in January 2027, so if you’re finishing your studies this year, we’d love to hear from you!

About the role

These are hands-on roles in a small, collaborative team that reports to the Data Office Manager. You’ll help keep our data, reporting and integrations running smoothly. You’ll also be part of a major modernisation project, moving us from a traditional data warehouse to a modern lakehouse on Microsoft Fabric.

Day to day, you’ll:

• Monitor daily data pipelines and refreshes, and fix issues when they come up
• Help business users with reporting questions, data discrepancies and access requests
• Build and improve Power BI reports and semantic models
• Develop and test data transformations across our lakehouse layers
• Help migrate legacy warehouse objects and reports, checking data quality as you go
• Use Git, CI/CD and AI-assisted development tools as part of everyday work, with every change peer reviewed
• Write documentation and runbooks so knowledge is shared across the team

Every piece of work starts with understanding the business problem, so you’ll learn how data creates value, not just how to move it.

About you

We’re looking for curious, motivated people with 0–2 years’ experience . Recent graduates in data, IT, computer science, business analytics, maths or a related field are encouraged to apply. You’ll bring:

• SQL skills, from study, projects or work (joins, aggregations, window functions)
• Some exposure to a BI tool such as Power BI or Tableau
• An understanding of data modelling concepts like fact and dimension tables
• A methodical approach to troubleshooting and checking data
• Clear communication, including explaining data issues to non-technical people
• A genuine interest in learning, and openness to feedback and peer review
• Respect for data privacy and confidentiality

Experience with Python or PySpark, Microsoft Fabric or Databricks, Git, AI coding assistants, or a certification like PL-300 or DP-600 is a bonus, but not essential. We’ll help you build these skills.

Are we what you’re looking for?

Pacific Smiles is a rapidly growing professional company. We have 2000+ staff who work together with passion, positivity and a desire to be the best. At Pacific Smiles Group, employees are recognised and rewarded for their contributions, and there is a strong emphasis on career and professional development.

We also provide:

• Workplace flexibility to support life balance, including hybrid working once your training period is complete, and a supportive leadership team dedicated to a culture of excellence
• An ongoing commitment to training and development, including structured onboarding with an experienced engineering team
• A corporate health and wellness program
• An exciting reward and recognition program
• Extra perks that make a great office environment, like fruit baskets and morning teas (any excuse for cake will do here!)

Please Note : To work in Dental in QLD, you are required to hold a Blue Card for paid employment (at no cost to you). You can discuss this further with us during an interview if you have any concerns.
