At E Source, we help utilities make sense of complexity in a rapidly changing landscape, and we’re looking for a Data Scientist III to help shape how that impact shows up in the world.

E Source is a research, data/analytics, and technology focused professional services firm focused exclusively on the utility industry in the US and Canada. We help utilities target and serve their customers more effectively, enhance and optimize their grid, and leverage operating best practices and technologies to manage their business more effectively. Headquartered in Texas, we have 450+ employees across the US and Canada. Learn more at www.esource.com

As a Data Scientist III, you’ll join E Source’s team, collaborating on data science projects with utility domain experts, software engineers, and machine learning engineers. You’ll work on projects like customer energy usage modeling across time and weather conditions, detecting usage of grid-impacting customer end uses, and estimating the impacts of utility-managed programs and services, with models built for integration into the production software that serves our utility clients. This role is ideal for a self-starter who thrives in team-based, collaborative projects from conception to end-user handoff, and who can simplify complex analyses into concepts that are clear to management and operations stakeholders.

In this role, you will

Contribute to translating a scope of work into technical tasks for project team assignments using Jira issues

Explore data and evaluate its sufficiency to perform data science tasks

Creatively distill insights from data exploration and modeling to make our work products meaningful and actionable for clients

Develop statistical and machine learning models and validate model performance

Collaborate on the development and maintenance of data science pipelines for repeated execution

Manage code repositories and conduct code reviews

Communicate with clients, internal or external, throughout the data science project lifecycle

Identify data sources that can facilitate data science solutions to utility industry problems

You’re likely a great fit if you

Are a self-starter who thrives in team-based, collaborative projects from conception to end-user handoff

Provide an excellent customer experience throughout a project’s lifecycle

Can simplify complex analyses into concepts that are clear to management and operations stakeholders

Communicate and present clearly and confidently

And even better if you

Have experience using Databricks, particularly with PySpark

Have professional experience in the utility or energy sector

Are familiar with customer and distribution grid data models

Are familiar with cloud environments, specifically AWS and Azure

Experience and Skills to Qualify Include

Master’s degree or PhD in a technical field such as statistics, economics, mathematics, or electrical engineering

Proficiency in R or Python (fluency in both preferred)

Experience applying data science methods to proof-of-concept and operational support projects in a professional environment

Strong understanding of a variety of statistical and machine learning model families.

Examples may include generalized linear models, time series approaches, penalized regression models, tree-based ensemble models, neural network models, and natural language processing techniques

At E Source, you’ll work alongside people who are thoughtful, curious, and deeply knowledgeable about utility and energy systems. We value clarity over jargon, substance over flash, and collaboration over ego. You’ll have the opportunity to grow your skills, contribute to meaningful work, and help shape a company that plays a real role in how the energy future unfolds.
