Data Scientist

ppAs a Data Scientist within our engineering department, you will grow step by step into a key role in supporting our worldwide projects. You won’t be expected to know everything from day one, you’ll learn by doing, supported by experienced engineers and data scientists. /p pAt DEME, our engineering teams constantly make predictions: how vessels will perform, how soils will behave, what environmental conditions to expect, and what emissions may occur. With an increasing volume of investigations, sensor streams and geospatial data, we can calibrate and improve these predictions, turning engineering expertise into smarter, data-driven decisions. /p pAs a Data Scientist within EDT, you’ll help bridge computer science and physical engineering. You will transform and analyze large-scale sensor and geospatial datasets and challenge traditional, physics-based engineering models with (hybrid) machine learning and probabilistic modelling. Your work will help projects worldwide make better predictions, supporting every phase from tender to preparation and execution, so we can confidently deliver extraordinary results in dredging, offshore energy, and marine infrastructure. /p h3Your responsibilities /h3 ul lipWork with large and diverse bengineering datasets /b , including sensor data from vessels and geospatial data, and learn how to clean, structure and analyze them. /p /li lipSupport the development of bdata-driven models /b that help predict vessel performance, fuel consumption, soil behaviour and production rates. /p /li lipLearn how bengineering assumptions and physical models /b work, and gradually challenge and improve them using bdata analysis and machine learning techniques /b. /p /li lipExperiment with bPython
