Are you an experienced data scientist with a passion for building practical analytical solutions and turning complex data into meaningful insight?
Do you want to help shape workforce strategy in a rapidly changing environment, exploring how AI, changing demand and new ways of working affect the capabilities and capacity Engineering needs?
If so, we’d love to talk to you!
As an individual contributor Lead Data Scientist within Workforce Strategy (WFS), you will take ownership of analytical projects that help Engineering understand and respond to its changing workforce needs. Working with WFS leadership and cross-functional partners, you will turn agreed business questions into practical analytical solutions, scenario models and evidence-based insights that inform workforce decisions. Your analysis will cover workforce size and shape, skills and capabilities, location and sourcing, and the implications of AI for work, productivity and capacity.
We are looking for an applied data scientist who can turn evolving business questions into focused analysis, connect complex datasets, test hypotheses and develop reusable tools, models and visualisations. The emphasis is on practical problem-solving and decision support, rather than building and operating production AI systems.
The successful candidate will combine strong technical judgement with curiosity, adaptability and a collaborative approach, working with Engineering, Finance, HR and Procurement to explain findings, make uncertainty visible and inform workforce choices.
This hands-on role combines independent delivery of agreed analytical projects with interpretation of their workforce implications, helping WFS respond to changing priorities and move beyond reporting what has happened to understanding what it means and what choices should be considered next.
