At UK Power Networks, we are searching for a talented Data Scientist to lead the development of predictive workforce models that will support our operational needs, regulatory commitments, and ambitious Net Zero goals for the upcoming price control period (Apply online only)). Join us at our Human Resources team in London and contribute to ensuring our business stays ahead in meeting both customer expectations and Ofgem requirements.
