Junior Data Scientist

You are analytically strong and know how to translate complex data issues into practical insights and solutions by combining knowledge of data, statistics (or mathematics), and asset management. In doing so, you can create solutions that are not only analytically strong but also reproducible, manageable, and deployable within the organization. You work independently on projects and actively seek collaboration with asset managers, engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure that insights actually lead to better choices for the network. You know how to explain technical results clearly to both technical and non-technical colleagues and contribute to the further professionalization and safeguarding of data science applications within the organization.
