• Deliver advanced analytics, data querying, modelling and visualisation to identify trends, emerging risks and improvement opportunities across resilience, reliability and bushfire programs. 
• Develop and maintain analytical models, datasets and tools to support resilience planning, risk assessments, investment prioritisation and regulatory submissions. 
• Provide high-quality quantitative analysis to support strategic resilience initiatives and climate impact assessments. 
• Translate complex climate, asset, operational and customer data into practical insights that inform network improvements and resilience programs. 
• Support the integration of reliability and resilience insights into asset management, engineering design, network planning and operational decision-making. 
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders and external partners to improve data quality, enhance modelling approaches and ensure robust analytical outputs suitable for governance and investment decisions. 

Skills & Experience 

We’re looking for a data-driven professional with strong technical capability and a strategic mindset: 

• Significant experience in data science, analytics, modelling or quantitative analysis, ideally within energy, utilities, infrastructure or a related sector.  
• Strong capability in data querying, transformation and analysis using tools such as:

• Experience supporting business cases, investment planning, regulatory submissions, or strategic planning through quantitative analysis.  
• Demonstrated ability to deliver or support integration of developed models through established ETL pipelines. 
• Strong understanding of network reliability, resilience, or bushfire risk concepts.  
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present complex technical insights to non-technical stakeholders.  
• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to operate effectively in an environment with uncertainty, changing priorities and incomplete information.
