Up to £29.89/hr PAYE or £40/hr Umbrella
We’re supporting a major engineering and manufacturing organisation in their search for an experienced Energy & Water Data Analyst. This is a fantastic long-term opportunity (running until late 2026, with strong potential to extend) to play a pivotal role in energy, water and sustainability performance across a large UK property portfolio.
You’ll join a specialist Energy & Sustainability team and take ownership of the full lifecycle of resource data — from metering and systems through to analysis, insight, compliance, and project support. If you love turning complex data environments into meaningful action, this one’s for you.
What you’ll be doing
Data Management & Insight

  • Act as the UK data expert for energy and water systems, ensuring data platforms and EMS tools are configured, accurate and reliable.
  • Analyse large, complex consumption datasets to spot anomalies, trends, inefficiencies, and failures across multiple UK sites.
  • Build meaningful KPIs, dashboards and reports used by operations and senior leadership.
  • Maintain data integrity and lead remedial actions when issues arise.
    Compliance & Project Support
  • Provide technical expertise on energy and water compliance standards, legislation, and best practice.
  • Support the delivery of CO₂ reduction and decarbonisation roadmaps.
  • Contribute data and cost modelling for Opex/Capex planning and investment cases.
  • Assist with feasibility, tender support, and oversight of infrastructure projects.
  • Participate in internal and contractor compliance audits, supporting environmental standards such as ISO 50001.
    Stakeholder Engagement
  • Work closely with FM, sustainability teams, project teams, contractors, and senior management.
  • Support UK sites with occasional travel (approx. 1–2 times per month).
    What we’re looking for
  • 5+ years’ experience in Energy or Environmental Management, ideally in large or complex facilities.
  • Expert knowledge of the end-to-end energy data lifecycle (BMS systems, metering, EMS tools such as eSight, data transfer solutions).
  • Strong technical understanding of water systems, consumption reduction approaches, and infrastructure improvements.
  • Solid grasp of compliance requirements, including relevant legislation, regulations, and codes of practice.
  • Confident analysing large datasets (e.g., regression, baseload analysis) and presenting clear insights.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement skills and the ability to work across multiple sites.
  • Must be a British national and able to obtain BPSS+ clearance.
    Contract Details
  • Location: Primarily North Wales, with travel to UK sites.
  • Hours: 35 per week over 4.5 days, flexible between 7am–7pm.
  • IR35: Inside (off-payroll working rules apply).

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.
