Data Scientist/Developer

Blunomy is hiring!

About

Let’s get right to the point: we believe the best is yet to come, if we put everything we have into inventing new rules for a new economy. We want to play a role in creating these innovative rules and tools, beginning with new ways to define what success is. So, who are we? We’re the Blunomists: a unique breed of highly experienced business explorers and experts who provide the multidisciplinary skills that are so often fragmented today. We believe breaking silos is the only way to move towards a regenerative society that’s decarbonized, circular and inclusive. 🌎

We are action-oriented and offer more than a consulting-only business model: we don’t shy away from complexity, we work hand-in-hand with our clients and partners in the long term and we share the risks when it comes to success. From strategic advice to industrial partnerships and innovative data solutions, we strive to provide end-to-end transformations.

We’re never happier than when we’re pushing boundaries:

  • Accelerating the go-to-market rate for promising and innovative technologies
  • Transforming existing infrastructure into low-carbon and resilient infrastructure
  • Switching from linear and global supply chains to multiple, circular, local, ethical and largely bio- sourced supply chains, while ensuring social cohesion
  • Optimizing land use to respond to growing needs for food and housing, recreate biodiversity, produce bioenergy and capture carbon
  • Ensuring that this period of increased attention on the environment creates a reduction in inequalities, with a particular focus on the development of essential infrastructure around the world These are the transition bottlenecks that get us up in the morning. 🌅

Although we’ve already got plenty of incredible projects to work on, we’re a growing organization. So, stay tuned in the coming months to find out more about us, and until then, feel free to send us your application!

Blunomy is the result of a perfect match between Isabelle Kocher de Leyritz, former CEO of ENGIE and internationally renowned business leader, and Enea Consulting, a pioneering strategy consulting firm specializing in the energy transition. Sharing a common goal of bringing about a positive economy, they decided to join forces to contribute to make change happen.

Blunomy was founded by Isabelle Kocher de Leyritz in 2022. ENEA Consulting brought 100% of its shares in the adventure, to build a common future in a truly unique company. Blunomy is fully owned by Blunomy Manco, a company composed of Blunomy's managers.

Job Description

Data analytics in the energy and climate space is growing at an incredible rate. Blunomy is growing the team to support the energy industry through its digitisation, decentralisation and decarbonisation transition and to support operability and planning in Australia and around the world.

We are looking for someone passionate about energy and data analytics to do-well-and-do-good by delivering data science products to better the energy market.  As an analyst, you will work on software products / projects under the supervision of product managers / project managers. In this setting, you will be exposed to the diversity of current energy challenges, leveraging your data and analytical skills to address them.

Example projects

We are always growing the products we deliver but over the last 12 months we have delivered:

  • Vision - Forecasting and Planning: model and predict the evolution of the load on the electrical network. Use machine learning, data analytics and a fair amount of software development to forecast long-term energy consumption, daily energy profiles and Distributed Energy Resources (Electric Vehicles, Battery, Solar PV).

  • Vision connection approval automation: dynamically model the energy network bringing together power flow modelling and machine learning to determine the DER hosting capacity of the local area. Used in production to approve hundreds of DER connection requests a day.

  • Bushfire risk modelling: model and compute the network‑related bushfire risk based on fault ignition likelihood. Calculate the consequences of bushfires such as property damage or agricultural loss.

  • Low-Voltage network mapping: identify errors within the current mapping of the low-voltage network, especially targeting customers whom connection to the network has not been properly recorded. This was performed using outlier detection with out-of-bag predictors.

Depending on the objectives, projects will entail tasks of varying nature. Your first focus will be on projects requiring data analytics capabilities.
