• Create understandable data visualizations using charts and user-friendly dashboards
• Clearly communicate results to clients in written reports and PowerPoint presentations
• Carry out quantitative and qualitative research (e.g., benchmarking utility bills) to inform decision making
• Develop subject matter expertise in water infrastructure while also providing analytical support to colleagues in our energy and solid waste practices

• Undergraduate degree or higher in Finance, Economics, Accounting, Business Administration, Data Analytics, or another quantitative field
• 1 to 3 years of experience in a finance- or data-related role
• Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Excel

• Basic knowledge of Microsoft Word and PowerPoint

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with advanced Excel features such as VBA, Power Query, Power Pivot, and Power BI
• Experience in the utilities industry
• Knowledge of programming languages for data analysis, such as Python, R, or SQL

• Logical — approaches problems with clear, evidence-based thinking
• Versatile — adapts quickly to changing needs, roles, and client priorities
• Elevating — lifts others through collaboration and positive influence

Additional qualities include:

• Exceptional attention to detail
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Highly organized, with the ability to self-manage multiple priorities and deadlines
• Ability to transform, combine, analyze, and summarize large (and often messy) data sets

What We Offer

Join our team of experts dedicated to making a positive impact on our clients' water consumption and costs. We offer a competitive compensation package, benefits, and opportunities for professional growth in a supportive and collaborative work environment.
