• Develop reporting views covering cost, schedule, progress, forecasting, risk, and overall execution health
• Create reusable dashboard templates, layouts, and data models to accelerate deployment on new projects
• Ensure visuals, calculations, and interactions align with defined KPIs and executive decision‑making needs

• Enable consistent, side‑by‑side comparison of projects using governed metrics and shared definitions
• Produce portfolio‑level rollups that highlight trends, emerging risks, and performance variances
• Support leadership reviews, stage‑gate decisions, and milestone meetings with accurate, timely insights

• Partner with IT and data teams to integrate reporting with ERP, project controls, engineering, and operations systems
• Leverage the Power Platform (e.g., Power Automate, SharePoint, Dataverse) to support data collection and workflow automation where appropriate
• Maintain standardized data definitions and a governed semantic layer to ensure consistency across projects and time

• Work closely with project controls, finance, engineering, construction, and operations teams to define requirements and close data gaps
• Provide guidance and enablement to analysts and project teams to drive adoption of reporting standards
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts through lessons learned and analytics enhancements

• 5+ years of experience developing Power BI dashboards in capital projects, EPC, engineering, construction, or industrial environments
• Demonstrated success building standardized reporting frameworks used across multiple projects
• Strong understanding of project performance metrics, KPI development, and stakeholder communication

• Experience supporting large‑scale capital programs within owner/operator or EPC organizations
• Familiarity with project controls concepts including cost management, scheduling, progress measurement, and forecasting
