  • Coordinate across teams and markets to align tools, data and forecasting processes between the NEM and WEM.
  • Contribute energy and weather information and insights into operational advisories, power system incident reviews and market reports to support secure and reliable power system operations.
  • Support upgrades of forecasting applications, reform deliveries and digital enhancements to improve the performance and reliability of forecasting systems and processes.
Requirements
  • Tertiary qualifications in science, engineering, mathematics, meteorology or a related statistical discipline.
  • Experience in the energy sector or similar industry, preferably in an operations, forecasting or analytical role.
  • Clear and confident communication skills, both written and verbal, including experience preparing high-quality reports and presentations to communicate technical information to a broad range of internal and external stakeholders.
  • Working knowledge of data analysis and statistical modelling techniques, including but not limited to PowerBI, Databricks, SQL and Excel.
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment and working across multiple projects.
