• Proven ability to engage stakeholders and present insights through data visualisation tools and storytelling.
• Experience with data modelling, warehousing, and integration.
• Interest in and awareness of AI and emerging technologies.
• Ability to thrive in an agile, fast-growing environment, managing both highly complex data and scalable solutions.
Beneficial (but not essential):
• Degree in engineering, science, or IT discipline.
• Microsoft Azure certifications or BCS Data Management qualifications.
• Experience embedding data modelling practices into delivery workflows.

Why Join Us?
• Be at the forefront of a transformational energy programme.
• Work on unique, complex datasets with high-impact outcomes.
• Shape data foundations during a period of rapid organisational growth.
