• Apply Power Query to shape and prepare data for reporting and self‐service analytics.
• Ensure data lineage, quality, and governance meet nuclear regulatory standards, maintaining audit‐ready documentation.
• Conduct trend analysis, forecasting, and anomaly detection to support proactive operational decision‐making.
• Work with multidisciplinary teams to understand data needs and translate them into technical requirements and analytical solutions.
• Present insights clearly to both technical and non‐technical audiences, supporting informed decision‐making.
