Position Overview
QGI Consulting is an Edmonton-based transportation consultancy specializing in rail freight supply chains. We are seeking a detail-oriented Senior Data Analyst to join our growing team developing a supply chain visibility and performance reporting system for Canada's bulk rail industry.
The successful candidate will work with large, complex datasets to support performance reporting, develop new analytical metrics, investigate data quality issues, and provide meaningful insights into supply chain operations, with a focus on the Canadian grain industry.
Key Responsibilities
- Prepare daily and weekly supply chain performance reports, including commentary on key trends and operational developments.
- Conduct detailed analysis to develop, test, and validate new performance metrics and support Power BI dashboard enhancements.
- Clean, organize, reconcile, and validate large datasets from multiple sources, investigating discrepancies and identifying opportunities to improve data quality and reporting.
- Collaborate with internal team and external stakeholders to resolve data issues, communicate analytical findings, and support reporting improvements and new analytical initiatives.
Qualifications and Skills
- Bachelor's degree in business, statistics/mathematics, computer science, or a related field. Relevant experience combined with data analytics certification may be considered in lieu of a degree.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with exceptional attention to detail and experience working with large, complex datasets, including data cleaning, reconciliation, independently investigating discrepancies, and validating results.
- Experience with SQL is considered an advantage -- optionally DAX or Power Query as well -- particularly for identifying data quality issues and conducting comparative analysis across complex datasets.
- Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including pivot tables, lookup functions, data manipulation, etc. Experience with Power Query is an asset.
- Excellent written communication and organizational skills, with the ability to clearly explain analytical findings, manage multiple priorities, and meet reporting deadlines.
- Familiarity with Power BI, statistical analysis, or supply chain operations is an asset.
Key Attributes for Success
- Analytical curiosity: A willingness to investigate beyond surface-level results to understand what is driving the numbers.

- Clear communication: The ability to turn complicated analysis into understandable findings and communicate effectively with stakeholders.
- Accountability: A strong sense of ownership over the accuracy, completeness, and reliability of assigned work.
