  • Integrated, well-governed datasets combining sensor, geological, and operational data to support repeatable analysis and decision making.
  • Well-documented business cases and analytical findings that inform product, process, and technology decisions.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Apply statistical and machine learning techniques to analyse operational and sensor datasets; build predictive models to identify trends and anomalies.
  • Integrate diverse data sources (sensor, geological, operational) into reliable datasets for analysis and reporting.
  • Design algorithms that support optimisation and automation, working with developers on proof-of-concepts where needed.
  • Build dashboards and visualisations that make complex analysis easy to understand, partnering with UI/UX teams as required.
  • Run stakeholder workshops to gather requirements, identify opportunities, and support adoption of process improvements.
  • Work with architecture and delivery teams to map analytics impacts to solution requirements.
  • Partner with IT/data platform teams to ensure data security, integrity, and availability.
  • Drive continuous improvement by identifying where data can improve safety, productivity, and decision making.

Essential skills and knowledge 

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Statistics, or a related discipline.
  • Proven experience delivering data analytics/data science in an industrial environment, ideally mining.
  • Strong programming capability in Python (or Matlab/R).
  • Experience with geospatial tooling (e.g. ArcGIS or similar).
  • Experience with modern data platforms (Snowflake and AWS analytics services).
  • Experience with dashboards/visualisation tools (Power BI, Tableau, Grafana or similar).
  • Strong communication skills and a structured, detail-focused approach to data quality and documentation.
  • 3+ years' experience in mining operations; knowledge of open pit mining (iron ore preferred).

Highly regarded:

  • Experience with telemetry and sensor datasets (V2X, heavy mobile equipment, or safety systems).
  • Familiarity with OT environments, mine control, or autonomy operations.
  • Experience working with large-scale IoT datasets and networks.
  • Background supporting safety analysis, incident investigations, or continuous improvement programs with data.
  • Exposure to production-grade data pipelines and cloud analytics tooling.
