Data Engineer / Analytics Engineer (Clean Energy Scale-Up)

Location: Hybrid – West London (3 days remote)
Contract: Permanent, full-time
Salary: £35,000 – £45,000 dependent on experience
Equity: Share options available
Holiday: 25 days + birthday off + bank holidays

The Opportunity

We are working exclusively with a fast-growing clean energy technology company that is redefining how green hydrogen is produced at industrial scale. Backed by significant funding and long-term commercial partnerships, they are now expanding their data capability to support the next phase of laboratory and pilot-plant development.

They are seeking a Data Engineer / Analytics Engineer to help build and maintain the core experimental data platform that underpins scientific development, validation, and scale-up activities.

This is a hands-on, technically engaging role operating at the intersection of data engineering, analytics, and laboratory experimentation. You will be responsible for transforming raw, real-world experimental and sensor data into structured, trusted datasets used daily by scientists and engineers.

This position is ideally suited to someone who enjoys working with messy, real-world data and wants to contribute directly to the commercialisation of next-generation clean energy technology.

Key Responsibilities

Build and maintain data pipelines for ingesting laboratory and plant data (CSV, Excel, sensor and time-series sources).

Work closely with engineering and scientific teams to understand experimental data flows, formats, and validation needs.

Clean, transform, and structure datasets for analysis, modelling, and reporting.

Support the development of metadata standards to improve experiment traceability and comparability.

Contribute to dashboards and analytical views used by R&D teams.

Monitor data quality and investigate anomalies or pipeline issues.

Improve documentation, data standards, and best practices.

Progressively take ownership of operational data workflows under the mentorship of a senior data engineer.

About You

You will ideally bring:

Strong Python skills for data processing and analysis.

Solid SQL capability and experience working with structured datasets.

Experience or interest in time-series data and sensor-driven environments.

A proactive, self-starting mindset with strong problem-solving ability.

Comfort working within a fast-moving, technically complex start-up environment.

A collaborative approach to working with scientists and engineers.

Desirable:

Exposure to cloud platforms (GCP or AWS).

Familiarity with analytics tools and dashboards.

Experience with laboratory, scientific, or industrial datasets.

Interest in hydrogen, energy systems, or electrochemistry.

Understanding of ETL pipelines and data modelling concepts.

Package & Benefits

Share options available.

Flexible start and finish times.

Flexible hybrid and remote working.

Support for international remote working.

Pension: 3% employee / 5% employer.

Team milestone celebrations.

Referral bonuses.

Strong exposure to a wide range of technologies and accelerated personal development

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

Where to advertise machine learning jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach ML, MLOps and deep learning engineering talent. 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.

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the MLOps, LLM and generative AI hiring trends shaping UK ML careers over the next three years. Machine learning has undergone a transformation that few technology disciplines can match. In the space of three years it has moved from a specialism sitting at the edges of most organisations' technology strategies to a capability that sits at the centre of them. The tools have changed, the expectations have shifted, and the range of industries treating machine learning as a core business function — rather than an experimental one — has expanded dramatically. For job seekers, this creates both opportunity and complexity in roughly equal measure. The machine learning jobs market of 2026 is significantly larger than it was three years ago, but it is also significantly more demanding. Employers have developed more sophisticated expectations, the technical bar for specialist roles has risen, and the landscape of tools, frameworks, and architectural patterns that practitioners are expected to know has broadened considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what machine learning engineers and researchers are expected to build, and how the definition of a machine learning career is evolving beyond the model-building core toward a much wider range of roles across the full ML lifecycle. This article breaks down what the UK machine learning jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
