I am recruiting for an experienced Data Scientist to join their growing team of 10 talented individuals. In the first 3-4 months, you will focus on a key client engagement, building predictive models that enhance water system management. Your work will play a critical role in predicting leaks and bursts, forecasting leak rates, and anticipating customer demand, delivering real-world value through advanced data science.

Further down the line, this role will then look to expand its responsibilities into other client accounts and tasks.

• Contribute to and improve MLOps workflows for scalable, maintainable model deployment.
• Clearly present insights and recommendations to both internal teams and client stakeholders.

Preferred Requirements

• BSc or MSc in a relevant subject such as STEM, Data Science, Machine Learning, etc., with 2-3 years of commercial experience.
• Strong proficiency in Python for data analysis, modeling, and deployment.
• Advanced skills in SQL for data manipulation and querying.
• Strong understanding of machine learning, statistics, and time-series forecasting techniques.
• Proven ability to communicate complex findings to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Familiarity with MLOps principles including deployment, version control, and monitoring is a plus.
• A strong interest in the field will also be considered.
• Self-driven with the ability to manage and deliver complex projects independently.

The role offers a salary of up to £45,000 per annum, along with benefits including 25 days of annual leave, a company pension, life assurance (4x salary), a company income protection scheme, and more. The business is moving into new offices in Cheshire East, which will feature parking, padel courts, an on-site gym, cafes, and more.
