Job Description

The Role

You will work with a cross-functional team of Data Scientists, ML Engineers, Software Developers and domain experts, applying advanced analytics and machine-learning techniques to large, real-world datasets. This includes high-frequency vibration data, SCADA data, and recorded turbine failure data.

The focus of this contract is hands on delivery - developing, validating and deploying models that generate actionable insights for wind farm owners and operators.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and optimise AI driven algorithms to detect, diagnose and predict wind turbine failure modes
  • Apply signal processing, reliability engineering and machine learning techniques to real operational data
  • Build probabilistic models to estimate remaining useful life (RUL) and component failure risk
  • Translate analytical outputs into clear, actionable insights for engineers and operational stakeholders
  • Collaborate closely with engineers and data teams to support deployment into production environments
  • Contribute to model validation, testing and responsible AI practices
About You
  • 3+ years' experience as a Data Scientist or similar role
  • Strong Python skills (NumPy, pandas, SciPy) and experience with ML frameworks such as scikit learn, TensorFlow or PyTorch
  • Experience working with complex, real world industrial datasets
  • Comfortable working at pace and dealing with ambiguous problems
  • Able to clearly communicate technical findings to non technical stakeholders

Experience within wind energy, rotating machinery, condition monitoring or reliability engineering is highly desirable, but not essential.
