• Apply governance practices for reporting services, including testing, release/rollback, KPI definitions, data dictionaries, and audit-ready lineage.
• Monitor and respond to data/report outages, manage access in line with cybersecurity/data classification, and coordinate fixes with vendors as required.
• Build and support small, governed analytics and automation in Microsoft Fabric (dataflows/pipelines/notebooks), including light production support and controlled changes for mining system reporting integrations.

• Experience with modern analytics platforms (, Microsoft Fabric) and related development patterns (data pipelines/dataflows, notebooks, lakehouse/warehouse concepts) is an asset.

Skills & Strengths, We Value:

• Strong data analysis and troubleshooting capability, including validating, reconciling, and clearly explaining operational KPIs and data flows from OT systems through to reporting.
