You will have the opportunity to gain valuable skills, knowledge and experience as you complete a Data Essentials - Level 3 Apprenticeship.

The software used, Askia, allows a great deal of this through a simple visual interface

Role

  • Scripting: The data technician will be involved in converting Word questionnaires into on-line surveys. The software used, Askia, allows a great deal of this through a simple visual interface, although there is some requirement for basic HTML and learning Askia's own scripting language.
  • Fieldwork management: The data technician will work with external companies to channel respondents into surveys and help ensure that quotas are filled, and the appropriate number of responses are collected
  • Data cleanse: Once a survey is complete the data technician will be responsible for reviewing the data and applying our quality control tests, identifying and removing responses which do not meet the required standard.
  • Post-coding: In cases where an open (free text) question has been asked the technician will need to code those responses into a closed question (a list of brands, for example), to allow for quantitative reporting.
  • Data-table generation: Askia is used to format the data into data tables, which are then exported to Excel, for delivery to the research teams.
  • Checking: At every step of the process every analysts work is checked by another member of the team, based on a QA checklist. Once the technician is competent in the procedures themselves, they will assist in checking the work of other team members.
  • Data entry: There is a small requirement for some data entry into Differentology's business development system. This is just adding new contacts and will not be more than 1-2 hours per week.
