Role Overview

The Performance & Analytics Lead plays a central role in shaping how large capital projects are measured, understood, and executed. This position is responsible for designing and governing a standardized portfolio of Power BI dashboards that provide leadership with clear, consistent insight into project performance across cost, schedule, risk, and execution.

This role blends hands-on analytics expertise with strong process discipline. You will establish scalable reporting standards, define repeatable workflows, and embed data-driven decision-making into the rhythm of project delivery across engineering, procurement, and construction environments.

Key Responsibilities

Dashboard Design & Delivery

• Design, build, and maintain a standardized suite of Power BI dashboards supporting multiple concurrent capital projects
• Develop reporting views covering cost, schedule, progress, forecasting, risk, and overall execution health
• Create reusable dashboard templates, layouts, and data models to accelerate deployment on new projects
• Ensure visuals, calculations, and interactions align with defined KPIs and executive decision-making needs

Portfolio & Program Reporting

• Enable consistent, side-by-side comparison of projects using governed metrics and shared definitions
• Produce portfolio-level rollups that highlight trends, emerging risks, and performance variances
• Support leadership reviews, stage-gate decisions, and milestone meetings with accurate, timely insights

Reporting Standards & Governance

• Define and document end-to-end reporting workflows, including data sources, ownership, refresh cadence, quality checks, and approvals
• Establish procedures for dashboard development, version control, change management, and lifecycle maintenance
• Integrate dashboards into standard project management routines such as weekly reviews and monthly reporting cycles

Data Integration & Enablement

• Partner with IT and data teams to integrate reporting with ERP, project controls, engineering, and operations systems
• Leverage the Power Platform (e.g., Power Automate, SharePoint, Dataverse) to support data collection and workflow automation where appropriate
• Maintain standardized data definitions and a governed semantic layer to ensure consistency across projects and time

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with project controls, finance, engineering, construction, and operations teams to define requirements and close data gaps
• Provide guidance and enablement to analysts and project teams to drive adoption of reporting standards
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts through lessons learned and analytics enhancements

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education and relevant professional experience
• 5+ years of experience developing Power BI dashboards in capital projects, EPC, engineering, construction, or industrial environments
• Demonstrated success building standardized reporting frameworks used across multiple projects
• Strong understanding of project performance metrics, KPI development, and stakeholder communication

Preferred

• Experience supporting large-scale capital programs within owner/operator or EPC organizations
• Familiarity with project controls concepts including cost management, scheduling, progress measurement, and forecasting
• Experience integrating data from ERP, project management, or engineering systems
• Power BI or Power Platform certifications (e.g., PL-300)
• Strong organizational and change-management skills with the ability to influence adoption across decentralized teams
