We are currently recruiting for a Data Scientist. This development opportunity is located at our Huddersfield Manufacturing Centre, a world-class Agrochemical Active Ingredient manufacturing site. The successful applicant would join a multi-functional team within the Process Technology department, reporting to a Team Leader/Principal Data Scientist and supporting our Process Engineers, Process Chemists and Process Safety experts to drive improvements to our manufacturing processes using data.

No specific qualifications in data science are required, as full data science training will be provided to the successful candidate. More important is the motivation to learn new software skills quickly and be able to demonstrate some basic programming knowledge from their studies, as a hobby or through on-the-job experience. The most exciting part of the role is applying data science to all the work we do – so the role involves talking with others to understand their data science challenges, identifying opportunities to apply appropriate techniques and delivering insights to deliver better solutions to manufacturing problems and opportunities.
