ABOUT ZENOBE

Our goal is to make clean power accessible, to accelerate the shift to zero carbon power and transport.

We’re building and operating the world’s most sophisticated battery systems to enable the uptake of more renewable power and accelerating fleet electrification, de-risking the transition to zero-emission transport at scale. We’ve been consistently innovative since we were founded in 2017, achieving major industry firsts and using proprietary software and data analysis to optimise operational performance for our customers. At the end of their life, we repurpose electric vehicle batteries to provide clean power at depots, on construction sites and film sets.

Today we have 730 MW of grid scale battery storage operational and under construction and are the largest owner and operator of EV buses in the UK, Australia and New Zealand, supporting over 1,000 electric vehicles worldwide. In our first five years we have raised nearly £1.8 billion in funding and have expanded into other markets such as the US. Our rapidly growing company is looking for highly talented and motivated people to join us.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are looking for a talented data analyst to join our data science and modelling unit within the broader Commercial Analytics group. The candidate will be part of a team aimed at providing top quality modelling and data insights with a focus on extracting maximum value from Zenobē’s assets.

In this role you will focus primarily on the grid scale battery storage side of the business, working closely with our commercial operations teams to understand their problems and implement high quality software solutions. You will therefore have exposure to a wide range of applications across the business (battery optimisation, energy trading, operational excellence, etc).

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to expand their data analytics and software skills, while getting significant exposure to both business stakeholders and other technical experts across the company. The role could suit someone from a software engineering background, looking to get more into data and analytics, or an experienced energy analyst wanting to focus more on software.

A TASTE OF THE DAY TO DAY

Responsible for the development of analytics, reporting and visualisation tools which will be used across Commercial Analytics and the broader company, this may include:

• Developing new analytics tools to provide high quality insight on our grid scale battery performance.
• Working with our commercial operations teams to understand energy trading and the best way to provide market and operational insights.
• Working with our platform team to develop infrastructure to run our models in the cloud and provide convenient user interfaces.
• Writing unit tests for models, analytics tools and data pipelines.
• Working with our data engineering team to integrate new data sources into our data platform.
• Transforming scripts into coherent pieces of software.
• Supporting the rest of Commercial Analytics in their efforts (e.g., providing advice, or making sure coding practices are up to the highest standards).
• Collaborating with other teams at Zenobē to provide them with models and technical advice.
• Teaching good coding and DevOps practices to other modellers/analysts.
