Building a community to create digital awesomeness
Are you a data scientist with a passion for the energy transition? Want to contribute to the development of smart, sustainable solutions in the Belgian and European energy sector? Then we have an exciting assignment for you.
We are looking for a Data Scientist to join a mission at a leading player in the electricity transmission sector, focused on implicit flexibility and optimizing demand response based on price incentives.
About the Assignment
You’ll join the Market Energy Solutions department, within a team responsible for:
* designing the balancing model of the electricity system,
* defining the imbalance pricing mechanism,
* and the related processes, terms & internal communication.
Your focus will be to develop data-driven methods to track how market actors react to price signals ("implicit flexibility")—for example, how energy consumption patterns change in response to price fluctuations or system imbalances.
The insights you generate will directly improve market design, support policy decisions, and fuel innovation in flexible energy use.
* Mapping available flexibility via research, interviews, data analysis, and estimation techniques;
* Developing models and analyses to assess the relationship between price signals, system imbalances, and market behavior;
* Linking three layers of flexibility:
* Installed (e.g. physical assets like EVs),
* Available (price-responsive capacity),
* Effectively activated (real changes in energy consumption/injection);
* Collaborating with other departments to share findings and apply results more broadly.
You may also be involved in other ongoing data science projects within the implicit flexibility team as needed.
* Minimum 3 years of experience as a Data Scientist
* 5+ years of Python programming
* Hands-on with statistics and machine learning on large datasets
* Strong analytical thinker who can structure complex questions into actionable models
* Understanding of how energy markets function
* Experience in the electricity market is a strong asset
* Able to manage multiple types of tasks autonomously, from operational to conceptual
* Detail-oriented, but with a helicopter view
* Strong communication and problem-solving skills
* Languages: fluent in English, ideally also Dutch and/or French
Why This Role?
* You’ll work on real-world challenges that support the energy transition
* Be part of a cross-functional team where data science, market design, and sustainability intersect
* Apex Consulting offers professional support, transparency, and a long-term vision for your freelance or consulting career
