THE OPPORTUNITY

This is a foundational seat in the Analytics and Enablement pillar of a brand new PMO. The Dashboard Developer will build the visibility layer that pulls data from multiple sources, spreadsheets, project plans, operational systems, into a single, executive ready view of project health for internal leaders and external customers.

We are tool agnostic. Power BI, Tableau, Looker, or another platform are all on the table. The right person brings deep visualization craft and the ability to evaluate, recommend, and stand up the right stack for our scale.

WHY THIS ROLE

• Greenfield seat. There is no existing dashboard layer. You will define the standard.
• You will lead the platform evaluation and recommendation. The decision is yours to drive.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Lead the platform evaluation and recommendation. Power BI, Tableau, Looker, and adjacent tools are all on the table. We will pick based on your evaluation, not preset constraints.
• Design and build the PMO dashboard architecture across internal executive views and external customer views
• Develop and maintain dashboards that surface project health, schedule performance, earned value, and KPI trends
• Partner with the Senior BI Analyst to turn analytical work into clean, intuitive visualizations
• Build data pipelines from heterogeneous sources, including spreadsheets, project plans, and operational tools
• Establish dashboard standards, templates, and version control for use across multiple geographies and customers
• Train and enable delivery leads on dashboard self-service where appropriate
• Iterate continuously based on stakeholder feedback to improve clarity, accuracy, and adoption

WHAT YOU BRING

• Five to eight years of progressive experience in dashboard development, BI engineering, or data visualization
• Tool agnostic with multi-platform fluency. Power BI, Tableau, Looker, or equivalent. Strong opinions held loosely.
• Strong SQL and data modeling fundamentals
• Demonstrated experience building both internal executive dashboards and external customer facing dashboards
• Portfolio of prior dashboard work available for review during interview process, including at least one example of a customer facing or executive facing dashboard
• Experience working with messy, heterogeneous source data and standing up clean pipelines
• Strong eye for visualization design, with the ability to make complex data legible to non-technical stakeholders
• Hyperscale, data center, EPC, or large infrastructure experience is a plus, not a requirement

TRAVEL AND AUTHORIZATION

• Travel up to 40 percent for the first 90 days as you connect with operations and project teams, then variable based on project rhythm
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States on a long-term basis. This position does not offer employment visa sponsorship now or in the future.

COMPENSATION

Compensation philosophy, base plus consideration for project performance bonus tied to initiative success measures, quality, safety, schedule, budget, and customer satisfaction. Specific ranges discussed during candidate conversations.
