About the Role
StormHarvester is a fast-growing green-tech software company based in Belfast, using machine learning and predictive analytics to help wastewater utilities detect issues in sewer networks before environmental harm occurs. By combining real-time sensor data with localised weather forecasts, we enable utilities to reduce pollution and make smarter, proactive decisions through our cloud-based SaaS platform.

As we continue to grow, we are expanding our New Product Development team to tackle new challenges involving data, analytics, and hydraulic modelling. This pragmatic and delivery-focused role involves using data analytics and hydraulic modelling to deliver bespoke outcomes for our customers.

You will collaborate with the development team to improve tooling functionality and have ownership over individual projects. You will also advocate for best practices within the industry to ensure our solutions meet customer needs.

The approaches you design will be used by water utilities to predict and prevent real-time pollution events and inform capital investment decisions, contributing to improved environmental quality.
