Position Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated BI & Analytics Analyst to join our growing operational intelligence team.

• Design and develop Databricks Dashboards and Databricks SQL-based analytical solutions.
• Evaluate reporting and analytics use cases to determine when Power BI, Databricks Dashboards, or a combination of platforms provides the most effective solution.
• Stay current with evolving Databricks visualization and dashboard capabilities and help identify opportunities to expand their use across operations.
• Partner with operations and business stakeholders to understand reporting requirements and translate business questions into analytical solutions.
• Develop and maintain key performance indicators (KPIs), metrics, and standardized reporting definitions.
• Write and optimize SQL queries to analyze operational data and develop reusable analytical datasets.
• Develop DAX measures, calculated columns, and dimensional data models following Power BI best practices.
• Perform exploratory analysis to identify trends, patterns, exceptions, and opportunities to improve operational performance.
• Validate data and investigate discrepancies to ensure reports and metrics are accurate, consistent, and trusted.
• Work with data engineers and other technical resources to define requirements for curated datasets and data products needed by operations.
• Optimize Power BI semantic models, reports, Databricks SQL queries, and dashboards for performance, usability, scalability, and maintainability.
• Help establish reporting standards, documentation, governance, and reusable analytics practices across operations.
• Support operations personnel in effectively using analytics products and self-service reporting capabilities.
• Use GitHub for source control, versioning, and collaboration where applicable.

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years of experience in business intelligence, data analytics, operations analytics, reporting, or a related role.
• Strong proficiency in SQL, including joins, CTEs, aggregations, window functions, and complex analytical queries.
• Strong experience designing and developing Power BI reports, dashboards, and semantic models.
• Strong knowledge of DAX and dimensional data modeling concepts, including star schemas and fact/dimension relationships.
• Experience with Databricks, including Databricks SQL and dashboard development.
• Ability and willingness to develop expertise in evolving Databricks dashboarding and visualization capabilities.
• Experience analyzing large and complex datasets and translating results into actionable insights.
• Strong understanding of data visualization principles and dashboard usability.
• Familiarity with Python, PySpark, or SparkSQL for data analysis and transformation is preferred.
• Understanding of operational controls and construction operations data is strongly preferred.
• Experience working with cost, schedule, productivity, forecasting, labor, equipment, or other operational-performance data is a plus.
