Junior AI / Data ScientistLocation: London, UK (Hybrid)Salary: Dependent on experienceAbout the RoleAn opportunity to join a high-impact Digital Solutions team focused on applying AI and data science to real-world engineering and operational challenges.This role sits at the intersection of analytics, machine learning and applied problem-solving. The focus is on extracting value from complex, imperfect datasets, including correlating large-scale operational data such as gas leak and infrastructure datasets.This is not a reporting-led Data Analyst position. The emphasis is on modelling, experimentation and turning raw data into predictive, commercially meaningful outputs.Key ResponsibilitiesAnalyse and correlate complex operational datasets to uncover patterns and insightsClean, restructure and prepare raw data for modellingBuild and validate machine learning modelsApply statistical and ML techniques to real-world engineering challengesTranslate technical findings into practical business recommendationsOperate with autonomy in exploring new data-driven solutionsWhat They’re Looking ForAcademic background in Data Science, AI, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or similarStrong grounding in data science and machine learning conceptsExperience with statistical modelling and data manipulationComfort working with ambiguous or messy datasetsPhD preferred, but exceptional academic track record essentialSelf-starter with intellectual curiosity and problem-solving mindsetIdeal CandidateStrong theoretical understanding of ML principlesComfortable moving from raw data through to working modelsNaturally analytical and detail-orientedMotivated by applying AI to real-world, safety-critical or infrastructure-focused problems
