Data Scientist

🚀 Data Scientist – Solar, BESS & Emerging Energy Tech

I am looking for a Data Scientist to join a fast-growing clean energy developer working across solar PV, battery energy storage (BESS), and next-generation energy technologies in the UK.

This is not a typical entry-level role, you’ll be embedded in a high-impact engineering and development team , applying data science to projects that directly influence how energy is generated, stored, and distributed.

About the Company

A dynamic and rapidly scaling clean energy developer with a multi-gigawatt pipeline of solar and battery storage projects across the UK . The team has a strong track record of delivering projects from concept through to consent.

You’ll be joining a close-knit, entrepreneurial team where your ideas are heard, your work has visible impact, and your career can accelerate quickly. The business is also exploring emerging areas such as data centres and onshore wind , offering exposure beyond traditional renewables.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Build and maintain geospatial screening tools to identify and rank development sites
• Develop energy market models & revenue forecasts for solar and BESS projects
• Create dashboards and automated reporting tools to track performance and pipeline progress
• Work with large, complex datasets (grid, weather, project data)
• Support engineering teams with power systems analysis and statistical modelling
• Apply machine learning techniques for yield prediction and optimisation
• Contribute to technical reports, planning submissions, and investor materials

✅ What We’re Looking For

• Experience with SQL and relational databases
• Exposure to geospatial tools (QGIS, GeoPandas, or similar)
• Solid understanding of statistics and machine learning fundamentals
• Interest in renewable energy, power systems, or infrastructure
• Experience with data visualisation tools (Power BI, Plotly, Streamlit) is a plus
• Strong communication skills and ability to explain technical concepts clearly
• Proactive, curious mindset with a desire to learn and grow
• Work on high-impact renewable energy projects shaping the UK’s energy future
• Gain exposure to engineering, energy markets, and infrastructure development
• Be part of a growing, entrepreneurial team with real autonomy
• Accelerate your career in one of the fastest-growing sectors globally
