DATA SCIENTIST / DATA ANALYTICS ENGINEER (PREDICTIVE ASSET MGMT. & MAINTENANCE)

About the Role

You will be a vital part of the asset management team, focusing on the development of predictive algorithms and prognostics. Your work will directly support decision-making in predictive maintenance for railway systems and digital asset management. Your responsibilities will encompass machine learning, mathematical/statistical analysis, coding, data ingestion/engineering, and system engineering, all aimed at achieving optimal asset management and maintenance outcomes throughout the asset lifecycle.

You will collaborate closely with various teams across LTA, rail operators, and system manufacturers to manage data and interfaces for rail assets. A key aspect of your role will be to articulate rail asset management business use cases through data. Furthermore, you will be involved in reviewing technical submissions and participating in the testing and commissioning of predictive and analytical decision support systems.

For those in senior positions, there will be an expectation to provide technical leadership within the team, particularly in areas such as statistics, data science, MLOps, and data engineering. Mentoring junior data scientists and analysts will be a significant contribution.

Requirements
