This is a hands-on, outcomes-focused role where you will apply practical data management techniques, including automation and emerging AI-assisted approaches, to enhance data quality, efficiency, and consistency.\nSuccess in this role requires both technical capability and strong interpersonal skills. You will engage regularly with internal teams and clients, requiring clear communication, critical thinking, and the ability to build trusted, long-term relationships.\nWe recognise that data in consulting environments is often incomplete or evolving. You will be comfortable working in this space-prioritising effectively, applying sound judgement, and delivering pragmatic solutions.\nFlexible working arrangements are available, and we are open to tailoring these to the right candidate.\nKey Responsibilities\nGeoscientific Data Management: Work with geological and related datasets across mining, exploration, and environmental projects.\n\nDatabase Administration: Maintain and manage project databases and data systems, ensuring integrity, security, and performance.\n\nData QA/QC: Clean, validate, and prepare data for reporting, interpretation, and downstream technical use.\n\nPublic Data Integration: Review and assess government and open-file datasets (e.g. WAMEX and equivalents) for integration, validation, and reconciliation.\n\nProcess & Workflow Improvement: Support data migrations, system upgrades, and continuous improvement of data standards and processes.\n\nProblem Solving: Investigate and resolve data inconsistencies efficiently and pragmatically.\n\nStakeholder Engagement: Collaborate with internal teams and clients to clarify requirements, resolve queries, and deliver to agreed timelines.\n\nAbout You\nYou are a practical, solutions-oriented professional who thrives in a consulting environment. While you may not meet every requirement, you bring the right mindset, adaptability, and capability to add value from day one.\nThe successful candidate will demonstrate:\nPragmatic Problem Solving: A “can-do” approach with a focus on practical, fit-for-purpose solutions (avoiding over-engineering).\n\nComfort with Imperfect Data: Confidence working with incomplete or inconsistent datasets while maintaining progress and composure.\n\nStrong Judgement: An ability to identify anomalies, ask the right questions, and challenge data where required.\n\nClear Communication: Ability to explain technical issues to both technical and non-technical audiences and build trusted relationships.\n\nSelf-Management: Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities independently.\n\nTechnical Experience\nGeological Data Experience: Hands-on experience with geological data in mining or exploration contexts (environmental datasets also valued).\n\nDatabase & SQL Skills: Proficiency in relational databases and SQL for validation, troubleshooting, and reporting.\n\nData Systems: Familiarity with geological data management platforms, with the ability to quickly learn new systems.\n\nGIS (Desirable): Experience using GIS tools for spatial validation and data sense-checking.\n\nDesirable:\nExposure to environmental data management systems or regulatory datasets.\n\nWhat ERM Offers\nFlexible Work Options: Full-time, part-time, or casual arrangements, with hybrid work-from-home flexibility.\n\nDiverse Projects: Exposure to a wide range of clients, commodities, and project types across mining and environmental sectors.\n\nProfessional Growth: Opportunities to tackle varied data challenges, contribute to improvement initiatives, and build industry connections.\n\nSupportive Team Environment: A trust-based culture where you are empowered to apply judgement, take ownership, and deliver outcomes, with support from an experienced team when needed.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4262,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible
