Job Description

Who We Are?

Furthr is a leading sustainability consultancy and tech platform committed to helping businesses reduce their environmental impact and transition to more sustainable practices. We specialise in providing comprehensive solutions for measuring and managing carbon footprints, aligning with international standards such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, as well as decarbonisation plans for forward-looking teams.

Since our inception, we've driven significant decarbonisation efforts globally, funded extensive reforestation and climate-impact projects, and facilitated the removal of hundreds of thousands of tons of carbon from the atmosphere. With hundreds of active business clients and growing international reach, our impact is expanding daily.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for an innovative, proactive, Junior Carbon Data Scientist to help us to streamline our data collection and analysis process, transforming small and large datasets into manageable formats for import into our software.

You’ll also be supporting on the design and automation of data pipelines, building predictive models, and piloting new tools. We’ll teach you the environmental context - your superpower is data, code, and a knack for creating reliable, repeatable solutions.

We’re looking for you to support:

  • Data driven carbon footprint measurement (Scopes 1, 2 & 3)
  • Workflow innovation - finding and implementing more efficient, automated ways to handle large, messy datasets
  • Support with automated reporting via templates, APIs or lightweight scripts
  • Predictive modelling & scenario analysis to help clients plan net-zero pathways

    You’ll be our in-house champion for improving offline data processes, standardising imports into our platform, and proposing new tools and techniques to level-up how we work.

    Key Responsabilities

    Data Collection and Transformation

  • Ingest and clean CSV datasets (e.g. via Excel Power Query, VBA or comparable ETL tools)
  • Standardise irregular inputs into a repeatable pipeline (“raw → final”)
  • Automate routine data-prep steps where possible
  • Write prompts for AI tools to organise and standardise data
  • Support with developing new tools and scripts (including Python, SQL, AI/LLM-based helpers) then use, validate and refine these tools on an ongoing basis

    Carbon Footprint Measurement

  • Apply the GHG Protocol (Scopes 1-3) using our in-house calculator and external factor libraries
  • Research and validate emission factors, benchmarks and supplier disclosures

    Future Focus

    Predictive Modelling & Scenario Analysis

  • Build simple models (regression, gap-filling) to forecast emissions and identify hotspots
  • Build models for Net-Zero pathways and reduction strategies

    Automation & Reporting

  • Support on pulling data from APIs or internal platforms into automated reports and dashboards
  • Develop templated outputs (spreadsheets, slide decks, PDFs) that update with minimal manual effort

    Innovation & Process Improvement

  • Continuously review existing workflows, suggest new tools (no-code, scripting, AI/LLMs) and drive pilots
  • Work alongside platform engineers and senior consultants to integrate best practices

    Qualifications & Core Skills

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in Data Science, AI, Computer Science, Engineering, Maths and Physics or related field; coding-bootcamp grads or self-taught programmers welcome
  • Practical experience or coursework in coding (Python, SQL)
  • Excel power-user ****(Power Query, VBA, SQL or Office Scripts a plus)
  • Understanding of AI/LLM tools for data cleanup or automation(GCS and BigQuery)
  • Strong analytical mindset and attention to detail - comfortable working with imperfect data
  • Excellent written and verbal communication - able to explain technical methods in plain English
  • Great attention and care for detail
  • Self-starter attitude: proactive, resourceful, and eager to learn new technologies

    Future Focus

  • Exposure to machine learning or statistical modelling libraries
  • Familiarity with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and basic carbon-accounting principles

    What We Offer

  • Starting salary £30 – 35k, with opportunity for role progression
  • We’re a London-based team and we encourage you to work alongside us in the office ~3 days week.
  • Hands-on mentoring from sustainability experts
  • Accelerated development with the opportunity for you to drive change and take ownership of projects in an exciting and fast paced environment

    Perks & Benefits

  • Furthr App personal climate account & project funding
  • Pension scheme
  • Annual field trips to reforestation & conservation sites
  • Training & upskilling budget, plus monthly in-person events and bi-weekly virtual learning sessions

    You will thrive with us if you have that core drive to help our planet and to restore our world's nature. We offer financial incentives of course, but if you're searching for purpose too, then we'd really like to talk to you.

Data Science Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Find Out What You Should Earn in the UK

Why last year’s pay survey is already out of date for UK data scientists “Am I being paid enough?” Every data professional eventually asks that question—often after a teammate reveals a hefty counter‑offer, a recruiter shares a six‑figure opening, or a headline trumpets the latest multimillion‑pound AI investment. Yet salary guides published even twelve months ago belong in a museum. Generative‑AI hype re‑priced Machine‑Learning Engineer roles, LLM fine‑tuning turned Prompt Engineering into a genuine career path, & fresh regulation forced companies to hire Responsible‑AI Officers on senior‑scientist money. To cut through the noise, DataScience‑Jobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula. Insert your role, your region, & your seniority, and you’ll get a realistic 2025 salary benchmark—no stale averages, no vague ranges.
