The Data Scientist at Woodside applies domain expertise, scientific acumen, mathematical and statistical proficiency, as well as computing and programming skills to unlock insights from complex datasets and delivering high-impact analytical solutions that enhance decision-making, optimise operations, and unlock value across the oil and gas value chain. The Data Scientist applies their expertise in scientific methodologies, mathematical modelling, statistical analysis, and computational skills to optimize operations and drive strategic initiatives. The role applies scientific reasoning, statistical modelling, machine learning, and software engineering skills to turn complex datasets into actionable insights. The Data Scientist will work across diverse business problems—ranging from time-series analytics and anomaly detection to optimisation, simulation, computer vision and applied machine learning—while contributing to the uplift of data science tools, frameworks, and delivery practices.
Job Responsibility:
Collaborate with business users, internal stakeholders and Digital teams to apply data science techniques to deliver value across the oil and gas value chain, understanding and shape client requirements, and translating them into Data Science actions
Contribute to data-driven data science project from end-to-end (i.e. problem identification to delivery)
Evaluate and apply data science concepts and techniques (e.g. predictive modelling, statistical inference, algorithms) to problems in oil and gas exploration and production domains
Communicate key assumptions, uncertainties, findings of statistical or technical analysis through reports, presentations and translate results back into business language
Utilizing machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data visualization techniques to identify trends, patterns, and anomalies in oil and gas data
Validate models using statistical and scientific methodologies, ensuring robustness, reproducibility, and interpretability
Develop predictive models, time-series forecasting methods, anomaly detection pipelines, clustering algorithms, and OCR or neural-network models as required
Collaborate with SMEs on analysis and modelling processes to solve challenging and high-impact problems in oil and gas exploration and production domains
Create documentation, develop and improve data science processes and best practices to ensure the sustainability of work
Contribute to successful implementation of solutions, ensuring training and knowledge transfer to stakeholders
Deliver data science solutions from opportunity identification through to handover, including planning, experimentation, implementation, and monitoring
Requirements:
Min. 3-year proven practical experience in Data Science across the end-to-end model development lifecycle, with machine learning and AI methods
Strong Python programming skills and experience with ML libraries (Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow)
Demonstrated expertise in time-series analysis, anomaly detection, clustering, and general applied machine learning
Experience developing web applications (Dash, Streamlit) and APIs (Flask, FastAPI, or Django)
Experience with software engineering best practices (e.g. CI/CD principles under Agile Framework, version control, reproducible research, etc.)
Strong competency using AWS cloud services, including S3, Lambda, SageMaker, containerisation, and serverless execution
Strong documentation, communication, and collaboration capabilities
Strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills
Excellent documentation skills to ensure the sustainability of work
Quantitative analytics
Excellent written and verbal communication
Tertiary qualification in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Data Science, Engineering, or a similar quantitative discipline
Nice to have:
Desirable experience being part of a multi-disciplinary team for Digital solution delivery or Experience with Cloud Technologies (AWS, MS Azure)
