Data Science Student

Job title: Data Science Student

Job description: The future you want is within reach.

At PCL, we build the places where life happens and find camaraderie in the process. We’re a community of builders committed to building better communities. That’s why we’re always looking ahead, and not just to the next project or what’s next in our industry.

We’re also looking at what’s next for you and how we can help you build a career you’re proud of. As a student at PCL, you will get the opportunity for challenging work assignments in a supportive work environment which promotes personal and professional growth.

We are seeking a Data Science Student for our PCL Industrial Management Inc. district office in Edmonton, AB, that is available for 4 or 8 months starting in January 2022. This position will be under the direct supervision of the Manager, Data Science.

This position is located at our district office in Edmonton, AB. Remote work is not available.

As a Data Science Student, you will contribute to our team by:

• Gaining proficiency in exploratory data analysis, performing it, and presenting insights.
• Preparing data sets for visualization and machine learning modeling.
• Training machine learning systems using data annotation and benchmarking techniques.
• Helping your colleagues assess AI/ML model performance and propose paths for potential improvement.
• Preparing data visualizations using industry-leading tools to summarize results for stakeholders.
• Documenting your results – tell the story of the work, the successes, and the lessons-learned for posterity.
• Keeping an open mind, in order to utilize your unique skills and your determination when other opportunities arise.

This position has a twist. Contingent on successful early work, the team member will have a chance to build their portfolio through a capstone project. For the final two months, a portion of their time will be focused on a design-focused initiative, of value to PCL, of their choosing. You’ll be supported while you:

• Develop a proposal
• Engage with the right people to inform your work
• Build your prototype or visualization
• Assess and present the results

Qualifications

What you will bring to the role:

• Currently enrolled in a postsecondary program
• Enrolled in a quantitative field: mathematical sciences, computing science, or another. If your field of study differs, apply: we’d like to hear why you’ll be a good fit regardless.
• Analytical skills – ability to quickly analyze data to identify and visualize key insights – as evidenced by coursework, projects, or research requiring the analysis of large datasets.
• Coursework in statistics. Applied statistics and probability are the focus of the position: if you can converse about regression models, and clustering approaches, you’ll be fine.
• Prior exposure to a statistical or scientific programming environment is helpful. If you don’t have it, you’ll become familiar while you’re with us. We have a bias for open source tech, and work with the Python scientific stack, R, PowerBI, and various data pipeline tools.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills will help. You’ll work with both experts in the field and business staff, so you’ll find it important to be able to communicate appropriately with both as needed.

Next Step:

• Please note that candidates who have been selected to move forward to the next stage of the recruitment process will receive an email to complete a short online video interview.
