Analyst Keynsham, England
Job description
Hours: 37 hours per week
Contract Type: Permanent
Service Area: Place Management
Department: Business Intelligence
Bath and North East Somerset Council is at an exciting point in its data journey, with our corporate Business Intelligence team at its centre. As part of the Business Intelligence Development Team and working closely with the Performance Team, you will help us find new ways of working with data. Together we will use new tools and technologies to improve our use of data across a wide range of Council services. This new post will be working primarily with our Place Management Directorate (covering a diverse range of services from waste to highway maintenance, City Centre management, and the Clean Air Zone) to help unlock the value of their data to the organisation.
Much of the Council’s infrastructure is SQL based, with PowerBI and SSRS used for analytics, so familiarity with these systems is important, but there are a range of proprietary systems used and flexibility around disparate data sources is a must.
You will undertake a range of activities, from data extraction & transformation, to data modelling, analytics, and report building. This is a career graded role and we welcome applicants at all levels, whether you are early in your Business Intelligence career or offer more experience and specialisms. Training and support will be provided at all levels as part of a skills development framework. What is essential, however, is the ability to handle work with curiosity, in a friendly team moving towards Agile working practices.
Your main place of work will be the award-winning, modern Civic Centre in Keynsham, halfway between Bath and Bristol, easily accessible via car or public transport, with a train station 5 minutes’ walk away.
