• Identify data risks, inconsistencies, and inefficiencies, implementing corrective actions where required
• Contribute insights and recommendations that support improved decision-making and operational outcomes
• Support and enhance geological data systems and software solutions in use by the business
• Drive improvements in data workflows, automation, and reporting processes
• Collaborate with technical, operational, and commercial teams to ensure aligned data delivery

The Requirements

• Extensive experience working with SQL and relational database environments
• Strong experience working with geological and/or production data within a mining or exploration context
• Background may be in geological data management, technical services, or site-based geology roles where data integrity, QA/QC, and reporting formed a core part of the role
• Proficiency in Microsoft Access or comparable geological database platforms
• Practical exposure to geological data workflows, from data capture and validation through to reporting and delivery
• Experience contributing to data automation, system optimisation, or process improvement initiatives
