Role Title: Data Analyst Intern: Budgeting Tool Development
Organisation: Department of Fire and Emergency Services
Internship Period: Summer (November - December)
Location: Forrestfield
We would like to have an intern to develop a user friendly budgeting tool, possibly using PowerBI, for commands to predict expenditure into future years with possibly the potential to produce reports to support additional budget requests. This would be built based on data currently housed in DFES internal systems.
Interns would not necessarily need a finance background, but the ability to consider how to capture financial data in a useful format. This will build the ability for the DFES Academy to provide quality training (through identify opportunities to save money or use money in a different manner), to enhance our service to the community of WA.
The Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) was established on the 1st November 2012, and performs a critical role coordinating emergency services for a range of natural disasters and emergency incidents threatening life and property.
It comprises of 1600 operational personnel and corporate staff members. It also has an extensive network of more than 27,000 volunteers engaged in the delivery of services to the community.
The Operational Research and Development branch’s purpose is to enable the continuous improvement of our operational assets including firefighting fleet, equipment and personal protective clothing to enhance service delivery to the community and increase the capability of the department.
