Collaborating with various teams, you'll review metering plans, contribute to system development, and ensure compliance with the Code.
Additionally, you'll lead system change management, resolving any issues that arise within Grid Metering systems, while sharing your knowledge with team members and driving continuous improvement.
What you'll bring:

• 3+ years of experience in a technical or data management role (open to diverse industries).
• Experience with data tools like Power BI, SQL, and Python.
• Strong understanding of database structures and data collection systems.
• A meticulous eye for detail and accuracy.
• Experience collaborating with stakeholders, service providers, and project managers.
