Data & Insights Analyst

Salary: £47,813 - £64,888

About the role

We are looking for a skilled Data & Insights Analyst to play a key role in shaping how data is used to drive regional performance, operational efficiency, and strategic decision‑making.

This role leads the design and development of data visualisation and insight, transforming complex datasets into clear, meaningful dashboards and reports that support both operational delivery and longer‑term planning. Working closely with regional delivery managers and business stakeholders, you will ensure data is accessible, accurate, and actionable.

A core element of the role is ownership of PowerBI dashboards and reporting, with a strong focus on insight generation rather than simple data presentation. You will be viewed as a subject‑matter expert in data visualisation and analysis, with autonomy over dashboard design and regional reporting outputs.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Collecting, cleaning, and analysing data from multiple sources to ensure accuracy and integrity
• Identifying trends, patterns, and anomalies to generate meaningful operational and strategic insights
• Designing, developing, and maintaining interactive PowerBI dashboards and reports
• Presenting complex data in a clear, intuitive, and visually compelling way for a range of audiences
• Tailoring dashboards to different stakeholder needs, from high‑level performance views to detailed operational insights
• Providing data‑driven recommendations to improve safety, reliability, performance, and regulatory compliance
• Supporting forecasting, predictive modelling, and business planning activities
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes through automation and streamlined reporting
• Supporting data governance best practice and consistency across reporting
• Producing outage and performance reporting, working closely with system operators and regional teams on a day‑to‑day basis
• Acting as a key point of contact for data‑related queries and insight across the region

Key requirements & experience

Essential:

• Strong experience in data analysis, reporting, and visualisation
• Advanced expertise in PowerBI, with the ability to build dynamic, user‑focused dashboards
• Strong SQL skills for data extraction and manipulation
• Proven ability to analyse large, complex datasets and generate actionable insights
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex data to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders
• High attention to detail, strong organisational skills, and a results‑driven mindset

Desirable:

• Degree in data science, computer science, engineering, mathematics, statistics, business analytics, or a related field
• Experience with financial or performance models (Excel or similar tools)
• Knowledge of planning processes across multiple work types
• Understanding of the RIIO regulatory framework
• Experience delivering training or presentations on data and insight tools

What we offer

• Annual bonus of up to 6% based on personal and company performance
• 26 days’ holiday plus statutory holidays - option available to buy extra holiday day
• Generous double-match pension scheme - for every £1 you put in, we'll add £2 (max company contribution 12%)
• An optional flexible benefit scheme, including private healthcare, dental insurance, technology plans, travel insurance
• Death in service 10x your basic salary
• Financial protection if you're unable to work due to long term illness or injury
• Excellent family friendly provisions - maternity/paternity/adoption/shared parental leave
