Data Scientist | Outside IR35 | 6 Months | £400 - £450 |

You’ll be joining a multidisciplinary team made up of data scientists, ML engineers, software developers, and subject-matter experts, working together to solve complex problems using advanced analytics. The focus is on applying machine learning techniques to large-scale, real-world datasets — including high-frequency vibration signals, SCADA data, and historical turbine failure records.

This is a very hands-on role, centred around building, testing, and implementing models that deliver meaningful, practical insights for wind farm operators.

What you’ll be doing:
  • Designing and refining machine learning models to identify, diagnose, and predict faults in wind turbines
  • Using a combination of signal processing, ML, and reliability-focused approaches on operational data
  • Developing probabilistic models to assess component health and predict remaining useful life
  • Turning complex outputs into clear, usable insights for engineering and operational teams
  • Working closely with data and engineering teams to help move models into live environments
  • Supporting validation, testing, and responsible use of AI solutions

What we’re looking for:
  • Around 3+ years’ experience in a data science or similar role
  • Strong Python skills, particularly with libraries like NumPy, pandas, and SciPy
  • Experience with ML frameworks such as scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch
  • A track record of working with messy, real-world datasets (ideally in industrial settings)
  • Comfortable operating in fast-paced environments with some ambiguity
  • Able to communicate technical findings clearly to non-technical audiences

Experience in areas like wind energy, rotating equipment, predictive maintenance, or reliability engineering would be a big advantage — but it’s not essential.

If this is a role that suits your skill set  and available immediately then please apply for the job advert directly or reach out to me with your CV to (url removed).
