Hello,

 

We are in the initial steps of developing a data lake to gather, clean, and consolidate data from each of our different systems. Does anyone have experience with a consultant or consulting company that can help guide us in this process?

 

Thanks in advance and we look forward to your response(s)!

Thanks @Ron and @Nolan very helpful! I will send this info to our utility member who may have some follow up questions (I’ll refer them back to this thread).

Thanks again!​​

Hi Kevin:  give me a call and we can discuss further.   In short, at Avista we have built out “job families” with a progression within a “data science” job family as well as a “data science engineer” job family.   Each family has a progression (from beginner to expert) to allow for employee development as skills are enhanced & developed.     The Data Science Engineer is distinct from the traditional Data Engineer, in that it has a bent towards analytic and business facing awareness, not just data.    The Data Science job family is for the Data Scientist roles.  We have been recruiting from local universities for beginner data scientists as part of our strategy with community partnering.    I’ll ask our HR department if we can share our job families with each of the two listed above, as they contain the descriptions. responsibilities, skills for each.

 

  

 

Aloha to all,

Good Afternoon UAI Members,

Happy Friday and I hope you’ve all had a great start to the new year! I’m currently working with a utility member who was interested in hearing from others on any roles, responsibilities, or job descriptions they might have for Data Scientists. Specifically if you have a template in place for this role, we’d be very interested in learning more.

As always I appreciate your help and look forward to seeing your input.

Thanks!

@Nolan

Thanks for the information you shared and when it comes to recruiting from universities, do you recruit undergrad or graduate students?  How important is it that someone have a graduate degree to become a Data Scientist?  From what I’ve read, even within the field of data science itself, it appears that there are different flavors of data science.

Thank you. ​

Hello Nolan,

I am the inquirer of the information. I am very interested in the job family definitions that Avista has come up with if it can be shared.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
