Data Scientist
Job description
I am looking for a Data Scientist to join a fast-growing clean energy developer working across solar PV, battery energy storage (BESS), and next-generation energy technologies in the UK. This is not a typical entry-level role; you’ll be embedded in a high-impact engineering and development team, applying data science to projects that directly influence how energy is generated, stored, and distributed.
About the Company
A dynamic and rapidly scaling clean energy developer with a multi-gigawatt pipeline of solar and battery storage projects across the UK. The team has a strong track record of delivering projects from concept through to consent. You’ll be joining a close-knit, entrepreneurial team where your ideas are heard, your work has visible impact, and your career can accelerate quickly. The business is also exploring emerging areas such as data centres and onshore wind, offering exposure beyond traditional renewables.
What You’ll Be Doing
Build and maintain geospatial screening tools to identify and rank development sites
Develop energy market models & revenue forecasts for solar and BESS projects
Create dashboards and automated reporting tools to track performance and pipeline progress
Work with large, complex datasets (grid, weather, project data)
Support engineering teams with power systems analysis and statistical modelling
Apply machine learning techniques for yield prediction and optimisation
Contribute to technical reports, planning submissions, and investor materials
What We’re Looking For
Strong Python skills (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, matplotlib)
Experience with SQL and relational databases
Exposure to geospatial tools (QGIS, GeoPandas, or similar)
Solid understanding of statistics and machine learning fundamentals
Interest in renewable energy, power systems, or infrastructure
Experience with data visualisation tools (Power BI, Plotly, Streamlit) is a plus
Strong communication skills and ability to explain technical concepts clearly
Proactive, curious mindset with a desire to learn and grow
Why Apply?
Work on high-impact renewable energy projects shaping the UK’s energy future
Gain exposure to engineering, energy markets, and infrastructure development
Be part of a growing, entrepreneurial team with real autonomy
Accelerate your career in one of the fastest-growing sectors globally
