  • Automate recurring data-processing, quality-control, and reporting activities where practical.
  • Document data sources, business rules, assumptions, calculations, validation procedures, and analytical findings.
  • Produce clear summaries of data issues, root causes, trends, risks, and recommended corrective actions.
  • Collaborate with utility personnel and project teams to resolve data questions and improve the completeness and reliability of asset information.
  • Support project tracking, quality assurance, client reporting, and preparation of deliverables.
  • Handle utility and client information in accordance with applicable confidentiality, cybersecurity, and data-governance requirements.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in data analytics, computer science, information systems, engineering, geography, mathematics, statistics, or a related discipline.
  • Experience analyzing complex datasets using SQL and relational database concepts.
  • Working knowledge of data structures, joins, keys, relationships, normalization, and data-quality controls.
  • Experience developing reports, dashboards, or analytical products using Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, or a comparable platform.
  • Ability to interpret business requirements and convert them into structured analytical methods.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to data accuracy, completeness, and traceability.
  • Ability to communicate technical findings clearly to both technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
  • Experience preparing process documentation, data dictionaries, validation rules, or technical work instructions.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, including advanced formulas, pivot tables, data validation, and large-dataset analysis.
  • Ability to manage multiple assignments and work effectively in a deadline-driven consulting environment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working with electric, gas, or water utility data.
  • Familiarity with utility assets such as poles, transformers, conductors, underground structures, streetlights, switches, protective devices, pipelines, meters, or related infrastructure.
  • Experience reconciling information between GIS, SAP, enterprise asset management, inspection, maintenance, or work management systems.
  • Experience using Palantir Foundry, including datasets, pipelines, transformations, ontology objects, dashboards, or analytical applications.

  • Experience supporting regulatory, compliance, audit, asset-validation, or infrastructure-modernization initiatives.
  • Familiarity with electric utility distribution or transmission operations.
  • Consulting experience or experience working directly with utility stakeholders.
