Familiarity with data engineering, data pipelines or cloud-based analytics platforms, such as Databricks.

Knowledge of statistical modelling, operational research or operations management.

Experience with larger datasets, including data cleaning, transformation, validation or analysis.

Support the digitalisation of sustainability data and analytics by connecting sustainability information with relevant business and operational metrics.

Contribute to BI solutions for reporting, forecasting and decision-making, as well as ad hoc analyses across sustainability data and technology.

Who you’ll work with
