- Creating event-based/discrete-event logistical models
- Applying quantitative analysis and data science to complex logistics problems
- Translating real-world operational challenges into robust computational models
- Working with stakeholders to understand requirements and communicate modelling outputs
Essential Experience
- Current SC Clearance - essential
- Proven experience in programming and quantitative modelling
- Strong background in data science, operationalanalysis or a closely related discipline
- Experience developing one or more of:
- Logistics models
- Cost models
- Stock and flow models
- Logistical flow/event-based models
- Ability to work independently and make an immediate contribution
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Python experience is currently used within the project, but the programming language is not prescriptive.
- Candidates with strong modelling experience in other languages are encouraged to apply.
