Here, you can find more purpose, more passion, and more potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently - we do it all. We make it, store it, move it, sell it, and mend it.

• Developing effective datasets, dashboards, KPIs and reusable data products that provide meaningful business insight.
• Supporting the migration and simplification of legacy reporting onto strategic data platforms.
• Identifying opportunities to automate processes, improve reporting and remove unnecessary manual activity.
• Managing delivery through development, testing, release and operational handover.
• Ensuring strong data quality, governance, security and control throughout the reporting lifecycle.
• Using AI-enabled tools responsibly to support analysis, documentation, testing and more efficient ways of working.
• Providing technical guidance and peer review to colleagues, helping to strengthen standards and share knowledge across the team.
• Contributing to improvements in BI, data engineering and reporting practices across the function.

What we’re looking for:

• Experience delivering BI, MI, analytics or data solutions within a data-focused environment.
• Strong SQL skills and practical experience with data and reporting technologies.
• Experience with Power BI and exposure to Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, Python or PySpark.
• Experience gathering requirements and translating business needs into effective technical solutions.
• An understanding of data modelling, quality, governance, security and controlled change.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly.
• Experience working across multiple projects and balancing different priorities and dependencies.
• A proactive approach to problem-solving, continuous improvement and automation.
• An interest in how AI and emerging technologies can improve analytics, reporting and ways of working.
• Experience of legacy MI or data environments such as Hadoop or SQL Server would also be beneficial, particularly where you’ve supported migration, simplification or decommissioning activity.
