Responsibilities

• Build, maintain, and refine dashboards in Power BI to track KPIs across engineering and operations
• Maintain data accuracy and consistency across source systems (MS Planner/Projects, SharePoint, and related tools)
• Write scripts (Python preferred) to automate routine data pulls, cleanup, and reporting tasks
• Use AI-assisted coding tools (Cursor, Copilot, or similar) to accelerate development — comfort with these tools is expected, not optional
• Troubleshoot data discrepancies and flag inconsistencies between systems
• Work independently, apply first principles of thinking to resolve design issues creatively and thoroughly coordinating with engineering counterparts
• Designing and building automations that connect multiple tools (Planner, ACONEX, and related workflows) rather than working within one system at a time
• Identifying and closing efficiency gaps between disparate software systems
• Supporting SharePoint site structure and document management, including automations that organize folders based on document type or metadata tags (e.g., auto-routing files on upload using Power Automate)
• Contributing to a more centralized data structure (e.g., a shared database or Dataverse) so dashboards pull from one consistent source instead of multiple live connections
