Energy Data Analyst

Are you an experienced Energy Data Analyst seeking your next role? Are you an advanced practitioner of Excel? If the answer is yes, this may be the perfect opportunity for you.

This independent company provides extensive energy data management services, with intelligent analysis and reporting on energy trends for various organisations.

They are now wishing to recruit an additional Energy Analyst to join their team. This is a full time permanent opportunity offering hybrid working from their offices in Basingstoke.

Primary Responsibilities

The job holder will have assigned accounts and specified responsibilities within those accounts. This will include the collection of data from, variously, the client, utility suppliers and data collectors, received in various formats.

It is the responsibility of the analyst to review the received data for completeness and to carry out a first pass at checking for accuracy – highlighting any obvious errors or omissions and taking steps to have these corrected.

The job holder will be responsible for producing accurate and complete performance reports to specified deadlines. It is likely that they will have direct contact with the client and their responsibility in service provision extends to developing a robust and productive working relationship with the client.

Where the company has a requirement to provide invoice validation services, the analyst is responsible for collating energy data together with billing data to ensure that a full validation exercise can be undertaken, with the results of the validation available in (agreed) report format. The Data Analyst will be responsible for client liaison in most cases and will be responsible for contacting suppliers to arrange remedy, with the refunds and credits secured where applicable.

The Analyst is likely to be required, also, to undertake ad hoc analysis or other tasks; it is their responsibility to ensure that they fully understand the requirement and have the experience/capability to deliver.

Context

The role of the Energy Analyst is a fundamental one within the Bureau and underpins much of the output from the department. The Company has a hard-earned reputation for good customer service: delivering work on time and to a high standard, supporting our clients effectively wherever possible.

Central to this good reputation is accuracy and reliability - the job holder must take a high degree of responsibility for the data integrity of all their output, delivered punctually.

Relationships

Reporting to the Bureau Manager, the Analyst will also work closely with the team of consultants on certain assignments. Apart from their client contacts (internal or external) they will also be expected to build relationships with personnel within supplier organisations, to facilitate the process of obtaining data, or resolving queries, promptly and effectively.

Knowledge & Experience

The successful candidate will be a highly experienced Data Analyst with proven Energy industry experience and will be expected to be an intermediate/advanced practitioner of the Microsoft Office software suite – specifically Excel. – and have a working knowledge of Power BI, which is becoming increasingly important to the business. The Company uses invoice validation software and has its own building monitoring software platform, so an aptitude for software is as important as being comfortable with numbers.

The Data Analyst is required to take responsibility for the data with which they are working and is expected to show initiative where appropriate
