In addition to core responsibilities, you will support the execution of a strategic data science program, select and apply different analytical methodologies, contribute to designing data dashboards and scenario planning functionality for external and internal stakeholders.

  • Ability to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
  • Knowledge of Data Science and interest in learning about a variety of techniques (i.e. data mining, predictive analysis, statistics, time series, large language models, geospatial analytics).
  • Proficiency in coding with SQL, Python or R, with the ability to manipulate and analyse data efficiently.
  • Ensuring data science is a key aspect within MOPAC decision making in terms of oversight of the MPS, but also other areas where appropriate.
