Business Systems Analyst Job Blue Ash area,Ohio USA,Business

JOB SUMMARY

We are seeking an experienced and self-driven Business Systems Analyst to join Ohio Valley Electrical Services.

Operating across multiple divisions, including electrical contracting, engineering, power services, control panel fabrication, and civil excavating, our operations are varied, and our software and process landscape has grown organically alongside the business.

We are looking for someone who can work directly with our teams, understand how work actually gets done day to day, and build practical tools and process improvements that let our existing staff accomplish more without adding headcount. This is an individual contributor role for someone who combines genuine business process instincts with enough technical ability to prototype and build solutions themselves, or to competently scope and evaluate work built by others.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Spend time directly embedded with teams across divisions, including project managers, estimators, shop personnel, and field crews, to observe and document how work is actually performed.

2. Build and maintain a prioritized backlog of process-improvement opportunities based on time saved, error reduction, and impact across departments.

3. Design, prototype, and build lightweight internal tools, dashboards, and automations to address identified inefficiencies, using modern development practices and AI-assisted development tools where appropriate.

4. Develop or improve tools that support proposal writing, project take-offs, and estimating workflows for the contracting division.

5. Develop tools and processes that improve communication and information flow between field staff and the office.

6. Where a larger, department-specific software need is identified, lead its development, either by building it directly or by scoping the work for and reviewing the output of outside developers or contractors.

7. Evaluate the company’s current software footprint (including SharePoint, BambooHR, Ving, and Field) to identify redundancy, overlap, and opportunities to consolidate into a more unified set of tools.

8. Lead rollout, training, and adoption of new tools and process changes across departments, gathering real world feedback and iterating accordingly.

9. Partner with leaders across Contracting, Power Services, Panel Shop, Civil, and Engineering to prioritize and scope improvement projects.

10. Track and report on the impact of implemented solutions, including time saved and adoption across affected teams.

11. Stay current on emerging tools and platforms, including AI-assisted development and automation tools, and evaluate their practical application to company workflows.
