This role can be based from our Glasgow, Edinburgh or Belfast offices, with hybrid working allowing for a mix of in‑office, client‑based and home working.

About You
You’ll be an experienced data professional who excels in Python (essential criteria) and be familiar with other coding and programming applications such as R, Ruby, FME or FME Flow (desirable criteria), with a proven ability to develop powerful data visualisations, implement machine learning models, and deploy solutions in the cloud (Azure).
You understand the value of DevOps principles, version control, and integrating technical solutions seamlessly into client operations. You have a good understanding of the MS Power Platform and can incorporate it into solution designs and manage other team members to develop solutions in Power BI and Power Apps.
Knowledge and experience of working in the water industry, specifically in the fields of wastewater modelling and urban drainage modelling would be advantageous.
Beyond technical skills, you’ll be a proactive problem solver, an analytical thinker, and a true innovator—someone who can tell a compelling story with data and inspire change across our clients and projects.
