Typically, my work involves processing and analysing large datasets, leveraging programming tools to manipulate data to allow meaningful insights to be extracted, and implementing data visualisation and mapping to translate data insights into clear and accessible formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The integration of data science across different areas of the business has allowed me to work on a variety of challenging projects, often in areas I am unfamiliar with. This has enabled me to gain new insights into the business and transport industry. With each day, I am continuously learning &#8211; developing both my data science skills and my transport knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:83px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-noir-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-my-graduate-programme-decision\" style=\"font-size:32px\">My graduate programme decision<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>My journey to SYSTRA was not a typical one. After initially studying a BSc in Biomedical Sciences and assuming research would be my career destination, I instead discovered my true passion &#8211; data science. This led me to undertake a Masters of Data Science degree, from which I began my search for a data science role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I had no knowledge of the transport industry but my interest was quickly piqued by the diverse data projects I came across when exploring the SYSTRA website. Having never really considered a career in the transport industry, I found myself intrigued at what a role in this sector would entail, and the significance of data science in an industry immersed in transport data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:56px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-asked-jessica\" style=\"font-size:32px\">We asked Jessica&#8230;<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-griplusclair-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:97px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-eggplant-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-how-have-your-technical-skills-developed-throughout-systra-s-graduate-programme\" style=\"font-size:24px\">How have your technical skills developed throughout SYSTRA\u2019s graduate programme?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Being part of the Data Science team, my technical skills have progressed significantly, allowing me to refine existing skills, as well as introducing me to new and innovative software and techniques. Working alongside individuals who have both the technical expertise and the willingness to help progress my learning and development has meant I have benefitted enormously from the experience of my colleagues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-eggplant-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-how-have-you-grown-personally-since-embarking-on-a-graduate-programme\" style=\"font-size:24px\">How have you grown personally since embarking on a graduate programme?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>My confidence has definitely grown since starting the graduate programme. Feeling more assured in my abilities is something that has been cemented through the challenging nature of the work I\u2019ve undertaken. I\u2019ve also been able to communicate more effectively by not shying away from questions and not being afraid to say \u201cI don\u2019t know\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-eggplant-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-what-advice-would-you-offer-to-someone-who-s-unsure-if-a-graduate-programme-is-right-for-them\" style=\"font-size:24px\">What advice would you offer to someone who&#8217;s unsure if a graduate programme is right for them?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Research, research, research. If you\u2019re unsure whether it\u2019s the right fit for you, explore different graduate programmes and become as informed as possible on the options you have. Then ask yourself: \u201cDo I like learning?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A graduate programme has a real focus on structured and supported learning, alongside professional and personal development, to allow you to start your career in the most fulfilled and reassured way possible. If that sounds like a good fit for you, then a graduate programme is the way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-eggplant-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-how-does-systra-stand-out-as-a-great-place-to-work\" style=\"font-size:24px\">How does SYSTRA stand out as a great place to work?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The people at SYSTRA are really what makes it a truly great place to work. There\u2019s a real sense of connection, not just in the collaborative work we do, but in the way we support and celebrate each other\u2019s achievements. We take an interest in one another beyond project work and commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>From my first week on the role, I was astonished at just how welcoming and reassuring everyone is, both within my team and in the wider SYSTRA network. Especially as a graduate, where everything feels very unfamiliar and daunting, I found that support from your colleagues can make all the difference. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-eggplant-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-what-s-your-favourite-thing-about-your-job-right-now\" style=\"font-size:24px\">What\u2019s your favourite thing about your job right now?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The variety and consistent challenge in the work I do. Each project differs in terms of the data science tools and approaches used, so I am constantly learning and enhancing my technical skills. The diversity in projects also allows me to continuously expand my transport knowledge and actively deepen my understanding of the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-eggplant-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-diversity-is-powerful-what-unique-perspective-do-you-offer-as-a-graduate-at-systra\" style=\"font-size:24px\">Diversity is powerful. What unique perspective do you offer as a graduate at SYSTRA?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As someone who has not come from an academic background in transport or a related field, I have the unique perspective of starting as a graduate at SYSTRA with very little knowledge of the transport industry, how it operates and the nature of the work. The ease at which I was able to become assimilated into SYSTRA and the industry is due to the sharing of knowledge and project work across consultancy through presentations and discussions, and the informative nature of the graduate programme in facilitating introductions to the different business sectors and the project work involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-eggplant-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-what-would-an-entirely-green-future-look-like-how-should-our-industry-contribute\" style=\"font-size:24px\">What would an entirely green future look like? How should our industry contribute?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A move to zero emission transport and engineering is vital for a green future, encouraging walking and cycling schemes and improving systems through decarbonisation. The key to achieving this is to consistently factor in sustainability and the social and environmental impacts of project work within the transport industry. We must measure project success using these parameters to encourage a real drive towards making a positive change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-eggplant-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-you-can-spend-your-lunchbreak-with-anyone-you-admire-who-would-you-choose\" style=\"font-size:24px\">You can spend your lunchbreak with anyone you admire &#8211; who would you choose?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Marie Curie, Rosalind Franklin, Katherine Johnson. Any woman who was a pioneer of their field during an historic time in which women had to work that much harder just to participate. To excel and achieve when the tide is against you is, in my opinion, phenomenal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, working in both an industry and STEM field in which women are significantly underrepresented has elicited a real desire to appreciate those who have fought for female inclusion. I want to help facilitate a growing female presence in the transport industry and the field of data science. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-eggplant-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-what-is-your-next-big-career-goal\" style=\"font-size:24px\">What is your next big career goal?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The completion of the Graduate Development Programme is my next goal. I am also keen to progress my knowledge of the industry and business sectors within SYSTRA, as well as gain even more project experience and technical expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A combination of these learning elements and the personal and professional development nurtured throughout the graduate programme should allow me to curate a strong personal brand backed up by experience and confidence. I hope this will present me as someone that others not only trust to perform well and succeed in projects, but also as someone they will enjoy working with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-eggplant-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-what-excites-you-about-your-career-future\" style=\"font-size:24px\">What excites you about your career future?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m excited to grow more confident and comfortable in the work I do, to continue developing and honing my technical skills. I hope to create a vast network of individuals both internally in SYSTRA and externally in the wider transport industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Meeting and working with new people is something I enjoy, so the more I can establish connections and seek out project opportunities, the more I can grow a substantial and meaningful network to immerse myself in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.systra.com\/uk\/careers\/early-careers\/meet-our-apprentices-and-graduates\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"12908\">> View all <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-blanc-color has-dirty-purple-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.systra.com\/uk\/careers\/early-careers\/graduates\/\" style=\"border-radius:100px\">Learn about the graduate programme<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Role: Assistant Consultant (Data Science) Career Area: Research, Modelling and Analysis Current Study Level: SYSTRA&#8217;s Graduate Development Programme Location: London My role at SYSTRA As part of the Data Science team, I help support the technical aspects of projects across the business sectors within consultancy.
