Overview

The Data Analyst supports the Organizational Change Manager (OCM) and the broader digital transformation initiative by building reports, dashboards, and data views for business leaders and teams across Thomas Cavanagh Construction, using the Palantir Foundry ontology built and maintained by Cavtera. This is a hands‑on, delivery‑focused role suited to someone strong in business intelligence, data querying, and communicating insights across all levels of the organization.

Requests that can be met using existing ontology objects — reports, dashboards, and data views — are handled directly by this role. Requests that require creating, modifying, or removing foundational ontology objects are routed to Cavtera for build. As the digital transformation function grows, this role offers the opportunity to take on broader reporting and analytics responsibilities over time.
