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

- 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.
