About Us

We're an innovative smart grid technology company building systems that connect and optimise energy assets as part of a Virtual Power Plant, helping accelerate the decarbonisation of the energy system. Our in-house software and hardware platform spans embedded controllers with rich sensor data collection deployed on customer sites, through to backend applications for control, automation, and data analytics - all the way to customer-facing visualisation and reporting tools.

  • Python programming for data engineering and cleansing (Spark/Databricks experience a plus)
  • Experience with Power BI and DAX
  • Solid understanding of data security on Azure
  • A proven ability to translate complex business requirements into scalable, resilient, end-to-end data system designs (HA/DR)
  • Familiarity with: SQL Server, ETL design, Azure Data Lake, Azure Data Factory, Azure SQL Server, Azure Synapse
  • Core languages: T-SQL, PowerShell, Azure API, DAX

Nice to Have

  • Experience in the renewable energy sector
  • A third-level degree in Maths, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
  • Commercial experience in data warehousing and business intelligence projects
  • Experience with large, complex datasets across multiple languages (T-SQL, Python, R, etc.)
  • Experience translating diverse business domains into dimensional designs for analytics and reporting
  • Basic exposure to machine learning, data visualisation, or AI techniques, and experience collaborating with Data Science/ML teams
  • Data governance experience
