Environmental Air Data Analyst

Partner with Environmental/ air compliance team throughout system design and deployment to ensure the platform accurately reflects regulatory requirements and operational workflows.

Coordinate with external consultants on data exchange, calculation methodology review, and integration of consultant deliverables into the compliance platform.

Support the integration of acquired assets into SM Energy's compliance infrastructure, including data migration from legacy systems and reconciliation of historical permit and emissions records.

Assist with internal and external compliance audits by generating data extracts, producing summary reports, and packaging documentation from the new platform.

Identify and recommend workflow improvements, automation opportunities, and analytical enhancements that increase team efficiency and compliance visibility as the new platform matures.

All other duties and projects as assigned.

Microsoft Office 365, with advanced proficiency in Excel.

Power BI for dashboard and report development, data model design, and scheduled refresh configuration.

SQL for querying, transforming, and validating data across relational databases and cloud data platforms.

Power Automate or equivalent workflow automation tools for recurring compliance tasks and notification workflows.

Snowflake or equivalent cloud-based data warehouse platform.

Claude and Claude Code — accelerating analysis, automating calculation documentation, and drafting regulatory correspondence and reporting narratives.

Python — calculation automation, data transformation, and scripting recurring compliance tasks.

Familiarity with environmental management information systems (EMIS) as a power user or configurator — enough to inform requirements and validate system behavior.

Familiarity with Intelex ACTS or a comparable EMIS platform, as a user or administrator, to inform the design of the replacement system.

Experience with mobile field data collection tools (e.g., ProntoForms, PowerApps, or equivalent) and data integration patterns from field to system of record.

Experience with Alteryx, Azure Data Factory, or equivalent ETL/data integration tools.

Familiarity with EPA's GHGRP Electronic Reporting Tool (e-GGRT) or state emissions inventory submission portals (NMED AFS, TCEQ STEERS/CEDRI, Utah DAQ).

Experience with emissions modeling software used in upstream oil and gas air compliance programs.

Working knowledge of Spotfire, Palantir, or other analytics platforms in an upstream oil and gas environment.

Bachelor's degree in environmental science, environmental engineering, data analytics, information systems, computer science, or a closely related field is required.

Minimum of 5 years of experience in a data analyst, environmental analyst, systems analyst, or IT support role; experience in upstream oil and gas is strongly preferred.

Knowledge of air quality compliance concepts relevant to upstream oil and gas, including familiarity with NSPS OOOOa/OOOOb requirements, GHGRP Subpart W emission calculation methodologies, rolling 12-month applicability tracking, and permit compliance obligations across one or more state regulatory frameworks.

Demonstrated experience working with environmental compliance data — building tracking tools, automating calculations, or supporting regulatory reporting workflows using modern analytical tools.

Experience working alongside IT teams on data or systems projects — contributing business requirements, validating outputs, and supporting deployment — is highly valued.

Experience managing data migration or system transition projects, including reconciliation of historical records and parallel-run validation, is a plus.
