About the Role

As a Business Analyst, you will work at the heart of a data-driven transformation, helping the business make smarter, faster decisions through meaningful insight. You’ll collaborate with stakeholders across the organisation to gather requirements, interpret asset-driven data, and deliver Business Intelligence solutions that add real value.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys turning complexity into clarity – someone with a passion for data, strong analytical skills, and the confidence to communicate insights to a wide range of audiences.

As a Business Analyst, you will:

• Work closely with business and technical stakeholders to gather, document, and prioritise reporting and data requirements
• Act as a key link between operational teams and BI developers, ensuring solutions are accurate, relevant, and impactful
• Analyse and interpret complex asset and operational data (e.g. infrastructure, field, or engineering data) to support smarter decisions
• Build clear and contextualised visualisations and reports using Power BI or similar tools
• Identify opportunities for process improvement and automation through data-driven insights
• Promote the use of trusted data sources and consistent business terminology across the organisation
• Translate business needs into user stories, functional and non-functional requirements, use cases, and acceptance criteria

Requirements

• Proven experience as a Business Analyst, ideally within a data-rich or asset-heavy environment (e.g. energy, renewables, utilities, infrastructure, logistics)
• Demonstrable experience delivering solutions in Business Intelligence projects
• Experience working with and interpreting asset data
• A strong understanding of data quality and experience standardising complex data sets
• Proficiency in SQL for data extraction and manipulation
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
• Confident communicator, comfortable working with both technical and non-technical audiences
• Ability to present data-driven insights and visualisations in a way that makes sense to business users
