Job description

If you have a background in land administration, strong SQL skills and enjoy untangling complicated data, this is an opportunity to use that experience in a slightly different way.

We're working with a global energy software business that is looking to add a Technical Analyst to its Project Services team.

Project Services is the delivery arm of the business, responsible for onboarding new customers and implementing its software. This position will focus predominantly on a suite of land management products, helping clients understand, prepare and successfully move their existing data into a new platform.

It's a hands-on role combining land industry knowledge, data analysis, technical business analysis and customer-facing implementation work.

What will you be doing?

• Working directly with clients to understand their land data, business processes and system requirements
• Analyzing complex datasets and developing clear, standardized conversion rules
• Creating source-to-target mappings showing how data will move from legacy systems into the new platform
• Using SQL to investigate, analyze and validate customer data
• Identifying data issues, finding their root causes and working with the project team to agree practical solutions
• Preparing clear documentation for customers, Project Managers and Data Conversion Specialists
• Supporting data validation, testing and quality assurance throughout the conversion process
• Providing technical guidance to customers during and after implementation
• Working closely with Project Managers, Developers, QA Analysts and Data Conversion Specialists
• Managing your workload across several customer implementations at once
• Recommending improvements to internal processes, tools and documentation
• Sharing your technical and land industry knowledge with customers and colleagues

What are we looking for?

Safe to say, previous Land industry experience is essential for this position - either commercial or through College.

You'll need practical knowledge of land records and agreements, which could include leases, contracts, obligations, mineral interests, surface interests or ownership information.

We're looking for:

• Strong SQL skills for data mapping, validation and quality assurance
• Experience working with databases, data conversions and project teams
• Familiarity with source-to-target mapping and data quality assurance processes
• The ability to analyze complex information and spot details others might miss
• Confidence working directly with customers and explaining technical information clearly
• Strong organization and time management in a fast-paced, multi-project environment
• A proactive approach with the confidence to take ownership of your work
• Good Microsoft Excel and Word skills, ideally with experience of Jira and Confluence
• Experience with land management software, enterprise land systems or SaaS implementations would be particularly useful. Wider knowledge of oil and gas, renewables or other energy-related land operations would also be beneficial.

This is not a pure SQL development role and it isn't a traditional Land Analyst position. It's a blend of both, using your land knowledge to help customers make sense of complex data and successfully implement new software.

The team is relaxed and personable, but the workload is busy and varied. You'll need to be comfortable speaking with customers, working across several projects and collaborating with different technical teams.

The role is based in Houston with office attendance expected approximately twice per month.
