• Good working knowledge of SQL.
• Good working knowledge of Excel, including formulas, filters, pivot tables, and charts.
• Ability to clean, compare, summarize, and validate data.
• Ability to identify inconsistencies, patterns, and outliers.
• Ability to explain findings clearly to technical and non-technical people.

Development support

• Practical experience with Python.
• Familiarity with Linux and command-line tools.
• Familiarity with scripting and task automation.
• Ability to create or adapt small tools that make analysis faster or more reliable.

Working style

• Strong analytical skills and critical-thinking ability.
• Careful and methodical when handling data.
• Ability to question assumptions, assess evidence, and distinguish facts from interpretations.

• Experience with Python data-analysis libraries such as pandas.
• Experience with operational, event, sensor, image, or other high-volume data.
• Experience working with software, systems, or operations teams.
• Familiarity with Git.
• Experience in tolling or intelligent transportation.

These are advantages, not mandatory requirements. Candidates should not be excluded because they lack a specific framework, database product, degree, or software-development methodology if they can demonstrate the core skills above.
