Support the delivery of AI solutions for energy companies by analysing project data, creating dashboards, tracking project performance and improving operational processes.About Applied ComputingApplied Computing was founded in 2024 to build Orbital, a physics-informed foundation model for energy operations. We’re live across oil and gas, refineries, and petrochemicals, working towards our mission: sustainable abundance for a growing planet.The hydrocarbon industry keeps the world running. But its complexity has left operators tied to legacy systems, making critical decisions on less than 10% of available data.We built Orbital to change that. It’s a foundation model built specifically for energy that lets companies use AI at scale, harnessing all of their operational data and optimising in real time for any metric. Decisions get faster, operations get safer, and carbon intensity falls.We’ve raised over $32 million, including one of the largest seed rounds for an AI company in the UK. We’re just getting started.The RoleAs a Business Analyst on our Project Management team, you’ll help ensure that our delivery of Orbital to customers across oil & gas, refining, and petrochemicals is well-organised, data-driven, and continuously improving. You’ll work closely with Project Managers, Engineering, and Customer teams to track delivery performance, surface insights from project and operational data, and help us make faster, better-informed decisions as we scale.This is a great opportunity for a recent graduate with a strong quantitative background ( ideally in Data Science, Computer Science, or a related field) who wants to apply analytical thinking to real-world, high-impact problems in the energy industry, at an early-stage startup where you’ll have genuine ownership from day one.What You’ll DoSupport Project Managers in tracking timelines, budgets, resourcing, and deliverables across multiple concurrent customer deploymentsBuild and maintain dashboards and reports that give leadership and delivery teams clear visibility into project health and performanceAnalyse project and operational data to identify trends, risks, and opportunities for process improvementGather and document requirements from internal and customer stakeholders to support project scoping and planningPartner with Engineering, Data Science, and Customer Success to translate business needs into clear, actionable project plansHelp develop and refine internal processes, templates, and tools as the Project Management function scalesPrepare data-driven summaries and materials for internal reviews and customer-facing updatesSpot opportunities to apply automation or lightweight tooling to streamline recurring analysis and reporting workAbout YouA degree in Process Engineering, Data Science, Computer Science, or another quantitative field (or equivalent practical experience)Strong analytical skills and confidence working with data. Spreadsheets and SQL as standard, with scripting experience (e.g. Python) a plusExcellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to turn data into clear insights for both technical and non-technical audiencesHighly organised, with strong attention to detail and comfort managing multiple priorities at onceA proactive, curious mindset.
