You’ll play an important role in:

  • analysing and evaluating asset sensor data, SCADA data, SAP data & data from other operational applications and commercial data to identify and troubleshoot technical issues affecting asset performance
  • translating these complex technical findings into running models and/or reports which alert our sites and ensure that faults are investigated and rectified by our technicians
  • statistical analysis and investigations towards developing, testing, and updating Key Performance Indicators
  • developing, testing, and implementing advanced diagnostic algorithms that provide accurate diagnosis and prognosis of faults
  • driving the technical performance capabilities towards fully utilizing centrally-developed tools and systems to have the highest performance impact, while acting as a translator between technical specialists and central developers
  • setting requirements towards central development teams for operational systems and developments to fully support the business requirements.

To succeed in the role, you:

  • have a statistical and logic-focused mindset with experience within performance measurements or analysis and reporting
  • have an MSc or BSc degree in engineering, data science, physics, mathematics, or another relevant discipline involving data analytics
  • have high proficiency in critical analysis and problem resolution, are equipped to handle voluminous data, develop simulation models based on technical and commercial input, conduct statistical enquiries, and establish well-founded and reproducible answers to convoluted questions
  • are confident and experienced working with Python in a professional setting (such as familiarity with version control, Azure DevOps, Kubernetes, Docker, SQL, etc.) and PowerBI. SAP FIORI experience will be highly preferred
  • must have knowledge of wind turbine operations, or are excited to learn more about mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and general maintenance engineering
  • must have experience in both data science & data engineering.
