Are you an experienced Energy Data Analyst seeking your next role? Are you an advanced practitioner of Excel? If the answer is yes, this may be the perfect opportunity for you.
This independent company provides extensive energy data management services, with intelligent analysis and reporting on energy trends for various organisations.
They are now wishing to recruit an additional Energy Analyst to join their team. This is a full time permanent opportunity offering hybrid working from their offices in Basingstoke.
Primary Responsibilities
The job holder will have assigned accounts and specified responsibilities within those accounts. This will include the collection of data from, variously, the client, utility suppliers and data collectors, received in various formats.
It is the responsibility of the analyst to review the received data for completeness and to carry out a first pass at checking for accuracy – highlighting any obvious errors or omissions and taking steps to have these corrected.
The job holder will be responsible for producing accurate and complete performance reports to specified deadlines. It is likely that they will have direct contact with the client and their responsibility in service provision extends to developing a robust and productive working relationship with the client.
Where the company has a requirement to provide invoice validation services, the analyst is responsible for collating energy data together with billing data to ensure that a full validation exercise can be undertaken, with the results of the validation available in (agreed) report format. The Data Analyst will be responsible for client liaison in most cases and will be responsible for contacting suppliers to arrange remedy, with the refunds and credits secured where applicable.
The Analyst is likely to be required, also, to undertake ad hoc analysis or other tasks; it is their responsibility to ensure that they fully understand the requirement and have the experience/capability to deliver.
Context
The role of the Energy Analyst is a fundamental one within the Bureau and underpins much of the output from the department. The Company has a hard-earned reputation for good customer service: delivering work on time and to a high standard, supporting our clients effectively wherever possible.
Central to this good reputation is accuracy and reliability - the job holder must take a high degree of responsibility for the data integrity of all their output, delivered punctually.
Relationships
Reporting to the Bureau Manager, the Analyst will also work closely with the team of consultants on certain assignments. Apart from their client contacts (internal or external) they will also be expected to build relationships with personnel within supplier organisations, to facilitate the process of obtaining data, or resolving queries, promptly and effectively.
Knowledge & Experience
The successful candidate will be a highly experienced Data Analyst with proven Energy industry experience and will be expected to be an intermediate/advanced practitioner of the Microsoft Office software suite – specifically Excel. – and have a working knowledge of Power BI, which is becoming increasingly important to the business. The Company uses invoice validation software and has its own building monitoring software platform, so an aptitude for software is as important as being comfortable with numbers.
The Data Analyst is required to take responsibility for the data with which they are working and is expected to show initiative where appropriate

How Many Data Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Science Job?

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Data Science Job Applications (UK Guide)

If you’re applying for data science roles in the UK, it’s crucial to understand what hiring managers focus on before they dive into your full CV. In competitive markets, recruiters and hiring managers often make their first decisions in the first 10–20 seconds of scanning an application — and in data science, there are specific signals they look for first. Data science isn’t just about coding or statistics — it’s about producing insights, shipping models, collaborating with teams, and solving real business problems. This guide helps you understand exactly what hiring managers look for first in data science applications — and how to structure your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you leap to the top of the shortlist.

The Skills Gap in Data Science Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Data science has become one of the most visible and sought-after careers in the UK technology market. From financial services and retail to healthcare, media, government and sport, organisations increasingly rely on data scientists to extract insight, guide decisions and build predictive models. Universities have responded quickly. Degrees in data science, analytics and artificial intelligence have expanded rapidly, and many computer science courses now include data-focused pathways. And yet, despite the volume of graduates entering the market, employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: Many data science candidates are not job-ready. Vacancies remain open. Hiring processes drag on. Candidates with impressive academic backgrounds fail interviews or struggle once hired. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data science roles. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they often miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data science.
