About us
At National Gas, the work we do matters.
As Britain's national gas network, we help keep the lights on, businesses running, and homes warm by maintaining the critical infrastructure that transports gas across Great Britain. While providing the energy security Britain relies on today, we're also helping transform the network for a clean energy future.
Join us and help secure Britain's energy.
About the role
We're looking for a Senior Data Scientist to develop advanced analytics, forecasting, and machine learning solutions that support the safe and efficient operation of Britain's gas transmission network. You'll take ownership of projects from concept through to deployment, delivering solutions that create real operational value.
Data plays a critical role in how National Gas operates and plans for the future. From forecasting network demand and understanding weather impacts to optimising asset performance and operational decisions, you'll help turn complex data into actionable solutions that improve decision-making across the business.
This is an opportunity to work on meaningful challenges with direct impact on national infrastructure. You'll collaborate with engineers, operators, and technology teams while applying cutting-edge data science and machine learning techniques in a production environment.
