• Monitor key jobs, feeds, and dashboards; respond to alerts and incidents to maintain uptime and data freshness.
• Perform user administration (access requests, role changes) and small configuration updates under guidance.
• Assist with patching, release testing, change management, and user acceptance testing; document runbooks and knowledge-base articles.

• Deliver light training and how-to sessions for end users and create quick-start guides.

• Data & Reporting:

• Build clear, user-friendly dashboards and reports that help teams understand operational data.
• Assist in automating data flows between systems using established data pipelines.

• Help troubleshoot data issues in SCADA feeds and Historian platforms with senior guidance.

• Data Quality & Transformation:

• Support efforts to standardize, validate, and clean incoming data; document data definitions.
• Learn to optimize basic SQL queries and dashboards for performance and reliability.

• Identify data anomalies and design automated workflows for corrective actions.

• Process Improvement and Automation:

• Identify and document repetitive workflows.

• Work with team members to design, test and implement automation using both traditional and emerging tools.

• Collaboration & Process:

• Work with IT and business partners to maintain OT applications and integrations.
• Participate in change management, UAT, and rollout activities; keep stakeholders informed on status and next steps.
• Contribute to documentation of data flows, process maps, and system diagrams.

POSITION REQUIREMENTS:

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Data Science, Engineering, or related field; relevant internships, projects, or equivalent experience welcome.
• Customer-first mindset with strong communication skills; comfortable supporting non-technical users.
• Curiosity, ownership, and a problem-solving approach; ability to juggle multiple priorities.
• Willingness to participate in occasional after-hours/on-call support and travel up to 10% for field visits and training.

Technical Foundations (preferred):

• Basic SQL (SELECT, JOIN, WHERE) with interest in learning performance tuning.
• Experience with one or more: Grafana, Power BI, Spotfire, or Plotly.
• Scripting in Python or PowerShell for light automation.
• Familiarity with databases (Postgres/Timescale, Snowflake, MSSQL) and data modeling concepts.
• Exposure to SCADA/IoT systems or time-series data and Historian tools is a plus, not required.
