The Opportunity
My client, based in the sustainability sector, is looking for a Data Scientist on a permanent basis. They are seeking a technical and hands‑on individual to drive the evolution of their analytics capabilities and help move beyond traditional reporting.
You will be responsible for building reproducible, code‑first data products that power internal decision‑making and customer‑facing features. You will also play a central role in the transition to an Azure‑native stack from legacy systems, with a new stack utilising Python, Spark and cloud computing to automate complex workflows.
