Key responsibilities
:
- Work on engineering problems as part of project teams
- Build and apply mathematical and process models
- Analyse project data to support design and operational decisions
- Develop tools or workflows that improve how the work is delivered
- Engage with engineers and clients to define and solve problems
- Stay involved through delivery and implementation
- Manage change, quality, health, safety and risk.
- Report to project leads on the status, progress and completion of projects.
About you
You’re an engineer who is curious about how data and modelling can be applied in practice, not just theory.
To be successful in this role you will have:
- An engineering degree (any discipline) or double degree (engineering and data analytics or similar)
- Exposure to modelling, simulation or analytical methods and the ability to apply practical solutions
- Strong engineering fundamentals
- The ability to work comfortably with real project data and ambiguity
- A genuine interest in applying modelling and data to engineering problems
- The ability to work with engineers and communicate clearly
- Exposure to engineering modelling tools (e.g. SysCAD), process optimisation tools (e.g. Uplift), scenario modelling and analysis (e.g. Aura, Discover Co, MCG) and scripting or data tools (e.g. Python, Excel, SQL) ideal
