About you
You will collect, prepare, and analyse population, workforce, employment and demographic data to support forecasting and modelling activities and ensure that data is of appropriate quality for input to the Travel Zone Projections model and subsequently the strategic transport models. You will undertake research into Travel Zone projections model inputs, assumptions and trends (e.g. housing, industry, economic factors), ensuring robustness and appropriateness of the assumptions underpinning the travel zone projections.
Your analytical skills, attention to detail and ability to work collaboratively, will see you excel in producing high quality data, supporting modelling processes and managing multiple tasks simultaneously, helping to deliver defensible, evidence-based outputs that inform strategic transport decisions.
You’re recognised as a capable and reliable analyst, skilled at interpreting quantitative data, communicating insights in plain language and supporting quality assurance processes, experienced in working with large scale data sets, analytical and mapping tools (ArcGIS/QGIS); also experienced in supporting stakeholders with planning and forecasting outcomes in a public sector or consulting environment. Knowledge of Python and R script is desirable.
