Data Engineer

Perth Based | On-Site | Not Remote

You’re Not Just Building Data Pipelines. You’re Powering a Revolution.

Picture this: Massive mining haul trucks – each one a small house on wheels – screaming across the outback. Now imagine them running cleaner, smarter, and greener because of the data systems YOU designed.

That’s the reality you’ll create in this role. Our client is not another corporate tech team pushing buttons. They are the mad scientists in the back lab, figuring out how to make industrial behemoths sip energy instead of guzzling it. And your data wizardry is highly in demand to make it happen.

Your Playground:

Industrial-Scale Data Challenges: Ever tried streaming real-time data from a 400-ton truck barreling through the desert? You will.

The Ultimate Tech Stack Smashup: SQL meets MQTT. Python shakes hands with CAN bus. AWS wrestles with industrial control systems.

"Why Hasn’t Anyone Done This Before?" Problems: Building data systems for machines that would crush your laptop if they ran over it.

We Need You To:

Turn chaotic equipment telemetry into beautiful, query-able datasets (before the engineers start crying)

Design data architectures that don’t collapse when a mine site loses satellite connection (again)

Build dashboards so intuitive even the old-school mechanics will use them (miracle worker status)

Make Python scripts that survive the dust, heat, and occasional kangaroo interference

You’re Our Unicorn If You:

Can write SQL queries in your sleep (but know when NoSQL is the right call)

Have battle scars from data pipeline wars (5+ years’ worth)

Speak “industrial protocol” fluently (MQTT, Modbus, OPC-UA – pick your poison)

Enjoy explaining complex data concepts to people who think “cloud” means rain

Get weirdly excited about time-series data (we won’t judge)

Why You’ll Stay:

The satisfaction of seeing your code control machines that could flatten a building

Zero boredom – every day brings a new “that shouldn’t be possible” challenge

A team that laughs at the same terrible data puns you do

The chance to put “helped decarbonize heavy industry” on your resume
