About the Role

We are seeking a detail-oriented and analytical Data Analyst to join our Workforce Planning team. This is a fantastic opportunity to support strategic decision-making by delivering high-quality insights from workforce and operational datasets. Your work will help shape how we plan, allocate, and optimise our workforce to meet future business needs.

Why This Role Matters

Workforce and planning analytics are essential to:

• Ensuring we have the right people to meet our regulatory commitments and enable the net zero transition.
• Supporting long-term business planning and operational efficiency.
• Enabling data-driven decisions across HR, Finance, and Operations.

Your analysis will directly influence workforce strategies and help us build a more agile and resilient organisation.

What You'll Do

• Support forecasting and scenario modelling for workforce demand and supply.
• Collaborate with Analytics, HR, Finance, and Operations teams to understand data needs.
• Assist in maintaining and improving data pipelines and reporting processes.

What We're Looking For

Essential Skills

• Proficiency in Python for data analysis.
• Experience working with workforce, HR, or operational datasets.
• Ability to communicate insights clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Ability to feed into a technical modelling team and curate datasets to meet their needs.

Preferred Experience

• Exposure to workforce planning, resource modelling, or HR analytics.
• Experience with databricks.
• Understanding of forecasting or basic statistical modelling techniques.

Qualifications

• Degree in a quantitative field such as Mathematics, Economics, Data Science, or Business Analytics.
• Demonstrated experience in data analysis and reporting in a business environment.

Health & Safety Responsibilities:

Managers and supervisors carry both legal and company responsibilities for ensuring the health and safety of their employees, those under their control and those who might be affected by the work undertaken, i.e. public, visitors and employees of other organisations. This includes briefing individuals working for them and ensuring there is the necessary understanding, competence and application of requirements to work safely and without harming the environment.

Employees will ensure they understand the health and safety risks involved in their work activities and their responsibility to apply the controls needed to manage those risks to acceptable levels. Similarly where work activities can have an adverse impact upon the environment, and where there are legal requirements, employees will understand those impacts and the controls they must ensure are applied.

If in doubt ask!

We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, colour, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender, gender identity or expression, or veteran status. We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace.
