Data Analyst

We are looking for a Data Analyst , long term mission , hybride ( Brussels 2 days onsite )

looking for a pro-active, “data geek” and “energy geek”. The candidate should have knowledge of data mining, data gathering/processing (mainly in Python), data visualization (PowerBI, React.js…) and ideally an economic dispatch tool such as ANTARES. This assignment also requires a minimum knowledge of energy systems

The consultant will help to perform different tasks within the SMA team:

• Improve data management process at SMA (set up data warehouse, data pipelines, ..);
  


• Explore large amount of data coming out of the simulations;
  


• Benchmarking visualizations from other equivalent studies, i.e. ERAA (ERAA 2025 Reports & Results), TYNDP (Explore | ENTSO-E TYNDP, Visualisation Platform | ENTSOs TYNDP 2024 Scenarios), MLZ (Data Publication), NESO-FES (FES 25
  


• Interactive dashboard), RTE (Analyses et données), …
  


• Benchmarking visualization already available within SMA;
  


• Create visuals from given simulation output, including writing and updating appropriate scripts;
  


• Present and iterate upon the created visuals with key stakeholders/management to ensure they fulfill their intended purpose
