This is an opportunity to shape how trusted data is created, managed and used across Bunnings. You’ll:

• Build and maintain reliable data pipelines and curated datasets for reporting, analytics and AI initiatives
• Design dimensional, semantic and other analytical models that make data easier for teams to understand and use

• Contribute to peer reviews, technical discussions and shared engineering standards
• Help create consistent business definitions while balancing flexibility, governance and delivery pace

You’ll have room to influence how we work, strengthen our engineering practices and develop solutions that support both team members and customers.

You enjoy turning ambiguity into clear, useful solutions. You’re comfortable exploring complex problems, asking thoughtful questions and working with others to reach the right outcome.

You take pride in building data products that people can trust, but you’re also pragmatic about delivering value and improving things over time. You value quality, reuse and clear documentation, and you’re keen to share ideas through design discussions and peer reviews.

The team works across technical and business disciplines, so you’ll thrive by communicating openly, listening to different perspectives and making complex concepts easier to understand. A can-do approach, curiosity and willingness to keep learning will help you make a strong contribution.
