Scope

This role supports the development, testing, implementation, and maintenance of the Fluor Big Data Analytics Environment and System(s). The Data Scientist role takes direction from the Lead Data Scientists and Analyst(s) as well as management in order to assist in the work to design, implement and test various types of statistical analyses and prediction models, including understanding the existing systems, processes, and the investigation, development, testing, quality inspection, and validation of new Analytics Charts, system components, tools, and data, when there are additions, changes or maintenance requirements. The Data Scientist role requires the development of a deep understanding of the data, processes and systems, to set up various systems of analysis and their smart graphics to enable knowledge, insights/indicators to be extracted as information from the data input, its triangulation, and presented to the users in various forms. This includes real time data manipulation and chart development at times when working with the analysts and project teams, and with the EPHD sandbox environment as well with R Shiny and R Studio (no called Posit). The data may be obtained, for example, from structured and/or unstructured data formats and a wide variety of sources (including new investigation with new data sources). This position requires the candidate to work in a highly collaborative environment with other data scientists, analysts, the EPHD Manila data repository team, project team personnel as may be directed, some key vendors, and company management. Being a data scientist engrossed in the support of the entire end to end data management process all culminates into a role to provide clear, easy to use, access, and understand the results, observations, and findings fashioned into a story for EPHD Analytics communications which then enables further deep investigation by the project teams (management team leaders including for example project controls, project planners, project schedulers, supply chain, engineering mgmt. and construction mgmt), ultimately to drive project execution performance results for the company.

This is an entry level position, in which the candidate for this role would come in without much knowledge or understanding of the engineering, procurement, and construction industry, and would be lead by the Data Scientist leaders and EPHD Analysts to grow and thrive in this position and to become a leader in the candidate’s own right.
