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.
The Data & Digitalisation team at Western Power Distribution is looking for data enthusiasts to join our Data Science Apprenticeship Scheme. 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.
We will provide formal training over a four year period, which will culminate in gaining a BSc in Data Science from University of Nottingham. There will also be a mix of vocational work-based training and formal courses held as part of our internal training functions. This will mean being able 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.
The successful candidate will be based at Bristol. If you have applied for this role within the last 3 months, there is no requirement for you to submit another application.
