Data Scientist - Sustainability Technology

Location: Hybrid (NI-based) - 1 day per week in office

Are you passionate about harnessing data science to drive real-world sustainability impact?
This is a rare opportunity to join a global technology leader working at the forefront of AI, IoT, energy optimisation, and smart building innovation.

You'll help shape the next generation of sustainability software - developing intelligent systems that minimise energy waste, enhance asset reliability, and enable smarter automation for leading global brands.


The Role

As a Data Scientist, you'll play a pivotal role in designing and delivering advanced analytics solutions that power intelligent buildings and sustainable operations.
Working with rich, real-time data from connected assets, energy systems, and environmental sources, you'll translate insights into measurable efficiency gains and performance improvements.

You will:

  • Perform statistical, predictive, and prescriptive analysis across complex datasets.

  • Design and implement scalable, end-to-end data science workflows.

  • Build and deploy ML models that optimise energy use and system performance.

  • Develop production-grade algorithms from R&D and exploratory research.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business needs into actionable, data-driven solutions.

  • Communicate technical insights clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Stay ahead of the curve by exploring emerging AI and ML techniques.


What You'll Bring

  • Strong background in Python or R (e.g., Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow).

  • Skilled in SQL and statistical analysis.

  • Proven experience applying data science in energy, optimisation, or IoT domains.

  • Strong grasp of machine learning techniques such as regression, classification, clustering, and time series analysis.

  • Degree in a quantitative discipline (Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Engineering, or Physics).

Desirable:

  • MSc or PhD in a related field.

  • Experience deploying ML models in cloud environments.

  • Familiarity with Git, cloud data platforms, or Agile workflows.

  • Knowledge of energy systems, smart buildings, or sustainability-driven technology.

  • A collaborative, curious mindset with a passion for innovation and meaningful impact.


Why Apply?

Join a company that's driving real change through AI-powered sustainability and automation.

  • Hybrid working model offering flexibility and autonomy.

  • Competitive salary and long-term career progression.

  • Opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology redefining how businesses manage energy and performance.
