- Built, improved, or validated predictive / machine learning models using real operational or market data.
- Worked with SQL and Python or R to extract, manipulate, analyse, and explain complex datasets.
- Used GIS, ArcGIS, or equivalent spatial analysis tools to support location, coverage, network, or infrastructure decisions.
- Engaged technical customers or internal stakeholders and translated requirements into practical recommendations.
- Presented technical insight clearly to senior, non-technical, commercial, sales, site-acquisition, or operations stakeholders.
