• Provide first-line user support, troubleshooting, training, work instructions, and job aids to promote consistent use of standard processes and best practices.

Power BI Reporting and Data Analytics

• Design, develop, maintain, and enhance Power BI reports and dashboards that translate engineering and operational data into actionable metrics, trends, and insights.
• Connect and transform data from Excel, SharePoint, system exports, and other approved sources using Power Query and data-modeling practices to improve data quality and report reliability.
• Partner with report users and data owners to establish sustainable practices for report ownership, refresh schedules, access, version control, documentation, and change management.
• Work with stakeholders to define reporting requirements, measures, visualizations, and success criteria. Present complex information clearly to leadership and operational teams.
