You will use your aptitude for creative problem-solving alongside a rigorous, thorough and structured approach to the organising and exploration of data. You’ll be interested in researching and applying new and developing technologies for data capture and analysis, and excited by the opportunities that they bring to help you in your role. You’ll enjoy engaging with others, including specialists from a wide range of engineering disciplines to help understand and interpret data and to develop tools that help to visualize and explore it, supporting effective decision-making and performance in delivery.
