Data Scientist
Ipswich/London
Competitive Salary + Benefits
Haven Power is looking to use a data-driven approach to transform the way that businesses use electricity. The aim of the company is to help organisations control their on-site demand, optimise electric vehicles and reduce carbon consumption.
As the Data Scientist, you'll play a key role in this transformation by conducting descriptive, predictive and prescriptive analytics to solve complex business problems. This will MEAN using big data and data science, and the rest of your technical data skills and knowledge, to develop and implement appropriate models and programmes. Highly proficient in Microsoft Excel, you'll be able to build these models and tools from first principles and sense-check outputs. This implies the ability to translate (through coding) your deep understanding of the energy market, plus all inputs and outputs, into tools that we can use internally.
You'll be responsible for the delivery of projects in line with the company's vision. This will MEAN monitoring and improving performance, identifying and fixing issues, and helping to design and deliver innovative new products to market.
Using your experience, you'll manage and manipulate large volumes of data to provide insightful and revealing analysis. You'll also research and apply new data science techniques in a pragmatic way that shows you understand their limitations.
Your verbal and written communication skills will be invaluable, as you'll be engaging with a variety of stakeholders (both internally and externally) and will need their buy-in to your proposals. They'll also need to understand how to use and monitor any new tools, reports and processes that you've created.
You'll also need a mathematical/statistical background and the ability to understand and interpret statistical analytics. You should also be proficient in programming (ideally in Python, SQL, C++) and a working knowledge of statistical packages such as R also desirable.
An understanding and passion for the changing energy landscape would also be a huge advantage in this role.
If your skills and experience match all of these requirements, this could be the role for you - please apply now.
