Beyond building high-impact Power BI dashboards and embedded analytics, you will be a driver of data literacy across the organization, empowering executive leaders and cross-functional teams to make data-driven decisions.

• Unified Business Insights: Contribute to our Unified Project View by integrating data across estimation, commercial, planning, design, and operations domains.
• Data Quality & Management: Establish data quality scorecards (evaluating completeness, accuracy, timeliness, consistency, and uniqueness). Work with business data stewards to route and resolve data issues.
• Enablement & Literacy: Design and deliver a tiered data literacy program for executives, managers, and power users. Conduct go-live training, hold regular clinics, and coach a federated network of data stewards across key departments.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Run requirements workshops with department heads to translate complex business questions into actionable data products. Partner closely with Data Engineers and software developers.
• Adoption Tracking: Measure and track solution adoption as a key performance indicator (KPI) and continuously optimize based on user feedback.

Technical Skills & Expertise

• Microsoft Ecosystem: Deep expertise in Microsoft Fabric (data storage/analysis) and Power BI.
• Power BI Mastery: Advanced experience in semantic modeling, row-level security (RLS), Direct Lake mode, and deployment pipelines.
• Languages & Tools: Proficiency in SQL, DAX, Power Query, and Excel.

• Version Control & AI Integration: Regular use of Git for version control, and a demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools to accelerate DAX/SQL generation, dashboard development, and documentation.
• Systems (Desirable): Familiarity with Salesforce, Premier, or Oracle Primavera Cloud. Predictive analytics / Machine Learning understanding is a strong plus.
