Role Overview:
We are looking for a motivated graduate Data Analyst to support a short-term contract project focused on engineer productivity and utilisation across our operations. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate to gain hands-on experience in a real-world analytical project, working alongside the operations team and leadership team. The successful candidate will gather, analyse, and interpret data to provide actionable insight into how our engineering workforce is deployed, identify trends, and support evidence-based decision making. This is a fixed-term contract role, expected to last 3 months, with potential for extension subject to project requirements.
Key Responsibilities:
Collect, clean, and analyse data relating to productivity, utilisation, and deployment across field and operational teams.
Develop and maintain dashboards and reports to track key performance metrics including job completion rates, utilisation rates, time-on-site, and productivity benchmarks.
Identify patterns, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement in how engineering resource is planned and allocated.
Present findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including senior leadership.
Work with existing data sources, systems, and toolsets to extract meaningful insight, recommending improvements to data capture and reporting processes where required.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand operational context and ensure analytical outputs are relevant and actionable.
Produce a final project report and handover documentation summarising methodology, findings, and recommended next steps.
Qualifications, key skills and experience required:
A degree (or recent graduation) in Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Business Analytics, or a related discipline. Final-year students due to graduate imminently will also be considered.
Some practical exposure to data analysis through academic projects, placements, internships, or part-time work. Prior experience in an engineering or utilities environment is not required but would be advantageous.
Familiarity with data tools such as Excel and SQL, gained through study or personal projects. Exposure to a BI or visualisation platform (e.g. Power BI, Tableau, or Looker) is desirable but not essential.
An understanding of or interest in workforce or operational data, including metrics such as utilisation rates, job throughput, or scheduling efficiency, whether from academic study, a dissertation, or a placement.
