Data Scientist role

Manchester / Remote

The Company

They started out by introducing reliable, clean, electricity to people living in some of the most remote places on earth - this has been a huge success and life changing for those previously struggling without.

Over time they noticed that energy theft from the likes of large organisations was becoming an issue. The people they initially set out to help were finding that energy was becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.

Their new product, an advanced IoT platform that helps stop energy theft in the off-grid sectors of Africa and South East Asia has been combating this problem. Their policing technologies have allowed villages to triple the time they have electricity which has had a monumental impact on their businesses, education systems, and quality of life.

The work you do will have a positive influence not only on the team, but to the lives of people across the world. This is real tech with purpose.

Due to the growth of their tech offering and wider team, they are looking to add a Data Scientist to the team. Progression wise there's L&D opportunities and you'll work alongside a contracting Data Scientist to get you up to speed, sharing your knowledge and learning from them. After this you'll be growing the function yourself, but will be looking to grow the data science team further in future.
