We specialise in providing comprehensive solutions for measuring and managing carbon footprints, aligning with international standards such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, as well as decarbonisation plans for forward-looking teams.
Since our inception, we've driven significant decarbonisation efforts globally, funded extensive reforestation and climate-impact projects, and facilitated the removal of hundreds of thousands of tons of carbon from the atmosphere. With hundreds of active business clients and growing international reach, our impact is expanding daily.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for an innovative, proactive, Junior Carbon Data Scientist to help us to streamline our data collection and analysis process, transforming small and large datasets into manageable formats for import into our software.
You’ll also be supporting on the design and automation of data pipelines, building predictive models, and piloting new tools. We’ll teach you the environmental context - your superpower is data, code, and a knack for creating reliable, repeatable solutions.
We’re looking for you to support:
Workflow innovation - finding and implementing more efficient, automated ways to handle large, messy datasets

Carbon Footprint Measurement
Apply the GHG Protocol (Scopes 1-3) using our in-house calculator and external factor libraries
Research and validate emission factors, benchmarks and supplier disclosures
Future Focus
Build simple models (regression, gap-filling) to forecast emissions and identify hotspots
Build models for Net-Zero pathways and reduction strategies
Automation & Reporting
Support on pulling data from APIs or internal platforms into automated reports and dashboards
Develop templated outputs (spreadsheets, slide decks, PDFs) that update with minimal manual effort
Innovation & Process Improvement
Continuously review existing workflows, suggest new tools (no-code, scripting, AI/LLMs) and drive pilots
Work alongside platform engineers and senior consultants to integrate best practices
Qualifications & Core Skills
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in Data Science, AI, Computer Science, Engineering, Maths and Physics or related field; coding-bootcamp grads or self-taught programmers welcome
Practical experience or coursework in coding (Python, SQL)

Understanding of AI/LLM tools for data cleanup or automation(GCS and BigQuery)
Strong analytical mindset and attention to detail - comfortable working with imperfect data
Excellent written and verbal communication - able to explain technical methods in plain English
Great attention and care for detail
Self-starter attitude: proactive, resourceful, and eager to learn new technologies
Future Focus
Exposure to machine learning or statistical modelling libraries
Familiarity with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and basic carbon-accounting principles
What We Offer
Starting salary £30 – 35k, with opportunity for role progression
We’re a London-based team and we encourage you to work alongside us in the office ~3 days week.
Hands-on mentoring from sustainability experts
Accelerated development with the opportunity for you to drive change and take ownership of projects in an exciting and fast paced environment

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
