Data Scientist

Company: Anson McCade
Apply for the Data Scientist
Location: Greater London
Job Description:

An opportunity to join a high-impact Digital Solutions team focused on applying AI and data science to real-world engineering and operational challenges.

This role sits at the intersection of analytics, machine learning and applied problem-solving. The focus is on extracting value from complex, imperfect datasets, including correlating large-scale operational data such as gas leak and infrastructure datasets.

This is not a reporting-led Data Analyst position. The emphasis is on modelling, experimentation and turning raw data into predictive, commercially meaningful outputs.

Key Responsibilities

  • Analyse and correlate complex operational datasets to uncover patterns and insights
  • Clean, restructure and prepare raw data for modelling
  • Build and validate machine learning models
  • Apply statistical and ML techniques to real-world engineering challenges
  • Translate technical findings into practical business recommendations
  • Operate with autonomy in exploring new data-driven solutions

What They’re Looking For

  • Academic background in Data Science, AI, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or similar
  • Strong grounding in data science and machine learning concepts
  • Experience with statistical modelling and data manipulation
  • Comfort working with ambiguous or messy datasets
  • PhD preferred, but exceptional academic track record essential
  • Self-starter with intellectual curiosity and problem-solving mindset

Ideal Candidate

  • Strong theoretical understanding of ML principles
  • Comfortable moving from raw data through to working models
  • Naturally analytical and detail-oriented
  • Motivated by applying AI to real-world, safety-critical or infrastructure-focused problems
