• Experience with data visualization tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or similar platforms
• Strong statistical analysis skills and familiarity with predictive modelling techniques
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate technical findings for non-technical stakeholders
• Interest in mining operations and autonomous technology (mining experience preferred but not essential)
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where data insights directly impact operational decisions
• Valid driver's licence and willingness to occasionally visit mine sites (travel approximately 10% of time)

What We Offer

• Competitive salary package of $75,000 - $85,000 plus superannuation
• Annual performance bonus tied to project milestones and company performance
• Professional development budget of $3,000 annually for courses, conferences, and certifications
