Description

Job Introduction

The Data & Digitalisation team at NGED is looking for data enthusiasts to join their team at our Bristol offices.

Do you love to identify problems, use your existing data skills and develop new ones? (likely programming in languages such as Python, R and SQL)

This apprenticeship will further develop that enthusiasm to work with data, as well as your knowledge, technical and personal skills, to provide you with the firm foundations for a data focused career within a world class utility company.

This is an exciting time to join us, a time of revolution, driven by international commitments to net zero and wider sustainability.

You will undertake a Data Scientist Integrated Degree Apprenticeship, which will culminate in gaining a BSc in Data Science from Nottingham University.

Over a 4 year period, we will provide a mix of vocational work-based training and formal courses, held as part of our internal training functions.

This will mean you need to be flexible to travel, either staying away as part of studying at university or internal training and development throughout the business.

Rewarding success and development is important to us and as part of this role you'll receive annual salary increases.

If you are offered a position, you will be required to successfully complete a basic DBS check that shows any unspent convictions or conditional cautions.

Main Responsibilities

Our Data & Digitalisation team pioneers a huge range of activity across its multidisciplinary functions - all things from the development of our leading edge systems and solutions to further improve how we manage the connection and operation of low carbon generation and technologies such as electric vehicles, to wrangling data and driving insight as to how our business should keep developing to maximise our performance and benefit to customers.

We also lead our customer facing data activity, delivering value and benefit through sharing well-structured and insightful data to support their aims, commitments and ambitions; whether that's a customer looking to install a wind turbine or a council aiming to implement city wide electric vehicle infrastructure.

We're passionate about customer service and therefore we're looking for people who can communicate effectively with internal customers and external customers.

You will be exposed to all levels of management in this role and being confident and comfortable is something that we'll support through training, however, having the ability to communicate clearly and build relationships is a really important skill we're looking for.

The majority of the job role is office based and there will be opportunities to travel throughout the company and across the UK to gain a real insight into every aspect of what we do to succeed.

You will therefore need to be flexible and willing to travel.

About The Company

You will be entitled to 23 days annual leave entitlement, plus 8 bank holidays rising to 26 days on completion of training.

Protective clothing and Safety Equipment will be provided where required and we offer free parking at all main sites. In addition, you will be able to access support via our Employee Assistance Programme, including musculoskeletal and physiotherapy services.

As an equal opportunities employer who is committed to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, we celebrate individual difference and are actively bringing in more employees from diverse backgrounds to build on our inclusive culture.

We anonymise all jobs in our recruitment system, so we can eliminate unconscious bias and be a workplace that reflects the community we serve.

Hiring managers only have access to necessary information after shortlisting has taken place and before interview so they can prepare.
