o Automation of Data Handling: Automate the transfer and integration of data between systems (Excel, Access, iTAR, RCR, Power BI), reducing manual entry and improving workflow efficiency.
o Relational Databases & Access: Create and manage relational databases in Microsoft Access to store, organize, and retrieve project and operational data. Integrate these databases with other tools for improved reporting and data analysis.
o Power BI Dashboards: Develop interactive Power BI dashboards and reports to visualize project performance, risks, and other critical metrics, enabling informed decision-making and real-time insights into project status.
Data Integration & Management:
o Data Integration: Integrate data from multiple internal systems, including iTAR, RCR, and others, into centralized platforms ensuring consistency and reliability across tools and processes.
o Data Quality & Validation: Implement data validation and quality checks to maintain the integrity of project information, ensuring that changes in one system (e.g., breaking links or data updates) do not disrupt others.
o Data Clean-Up & Organization: Clean up and organize company files across all sites, ensuring consistent, error-free data integration and optimizing reporting functionality across tools.
Reporting & Visualization:
o Dynamic Reporting: Develop dynamic reports and visualizations to track and communicate project performance, risks, and key metrics effectively to stakeholders. Leverage Power BI for drill-down capabilities that offer detailed analysis of project data.
o Cost Management Reports: Work with cost management teams to build and automate reports that streamline data processing and highlight key cost performance indicators.
Training & Support:
o Team Collaboration: Provide training and support to project teams and site personnel on the use of tools, ensuring efficient utilization in daily workflows.
o Troubleshooting & Issue Resolution: Offer ongoing support for troubleshooting any issues that arise with the data systems or tools, ensuring smooth operation and continuous improvement of workflows.
Proactive Solution Proposals:
o Creative Solutions: Propose and implement creative solutions to automate and streamline data processes, ensuring that systems operate efficiently and reliably without crashes or errors in data transfer.
Collaboration and Communication:
o Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, particularly COST teams, to maintain and improve tools used across sites. Act as a liaison to ensure that all tools remain functional, and data flows seamlessly between systems.
o Effective Communication: Communicate complex technical information effectively to non-technical stakeholders and site personnel, ensuring clarity and understanding for all users.
